are you generating the device nodes by hand or relying on something else ?  
mdev currently will not place the device nodes in a subdir as would be 
required by alsa-lib.

are you using uClibc or glibc ?  we're cross-compiling alsa-lib for 
Blackfin/uClibc and it seems to be working for us.  our drivers are varying 
degrees of working, but that is a driver problem ;)
