I thought I had filed a bug report about this, but I don't see
it.
The device files can only be made by downloading the source at
present. The shell script for making the devices should be part
of alsa-modules - either the source or the modules will be
installed by the user, and the version of the shell script has
the potential to be tied to that of the precompiled modules
being used.
