REPLACE, KERNEL="controlC?", NAME="snd/controlC%1"
REPLACE, KERNEL="hwC?D?", NAME="snd/hwC%1D%2c"
REPLACE, KERNEL="midiC?D?", NAME="snd/midiC%1D%2"
REPLACE, KERNEL="pcmC?D?c", NAME="snd/pcmC%1D%2c"
REPLACE, KERNEL="pcmC?D?p", NAME="snd/pcmC%1D%2p"

is this possible ?

:-) 
could you foward it to me ?

i really want at least to make the udev.rules.devfs more complete
/* which reminds me to ask a question */
does udev use both udev.rules and udev.rules.devfs
it would be really great if one could enable devfs like name in udev.conf
and then udev checks udev.rules for user defined rules, 
and additionally chains them to the devfs one's in udev.rules.devfs

best,

svetljo
