Well, possibly answering my own question. Found this in an udev primer:

---------------------------------------------------------------------------=
---
Mixer/Midi/Dsp Devices: Some people, including me, report that the
/dev/mixer isn't being created or /dev/midi or /dev/dsp. The problem
is not udev. If you compiled your kernel with them as modules you have
to load them in /etc/modules.autoload.d/kernel-2.6. So if those
devices aren't being created add: snd_pcm_oss & snd_seq_oss to
kernel-2.6 file. The snd_pcm_oss will load snd_mixer_oss itself.
snd_mixer_oss alias is /dev/mixer
snd_pcm_oss alias is /dev/dsp
snd_seq_oss alias is /dev/midi
---------------------------------------------------------------------------=

So those need to be loaded manually in rc.modules still?
