Very nice!

Did you install eudev simply by apt-get install udev? Were there any
other steps?

This means that udev won't run on boot. Did /etc/init.d/eudev exist, or
did you just not have a daemon?

Dave, a cool move on your part would be to document exactly how you did
the setup described in the preceding paragraph. Until Devuan gets their
documentation act together, I'd suggest publishing your documentation
on a website controlled by you, so that it's permanent. A whole heck of
a lot of people want to have a simple, no-nonsense sound setup like you
describe. I'm one of them.
