I had a similar problem with udev not creating the alsa devices
correctly. One option I used with success (on Debian Sid, though it
shouldn't matter) is to add a line to your alsa startup script that
will recreate the modules for you. After searching, there is one such
script in existence that is dropped into /usr/share/alsa-base during
install (initally creates the devices), or you can do a "find /usr
-name snddevices" and see where slackware puts it. I added this to the
beginning of my alsa startup "sh /path/to/snddevices" and it recreates
them on boot.

Hope that will be helpful to you. If it is way off base then good luck
finding another answer! Udev is a little shifty still no?
