mdev.conf broked sound(ALSA, Pulseaudio) after rev. 5361

After loading kernel sound modules, files(controlC0, pcmC0D0c, pcmC0D0p, timer) 
located in /dev, not in /dev/snd.

Because of that sound not working, aplay -l does not find devices.

I changed /tmp/mdev.conf and this is working settings:

# alsa sound
pcm.*                   0:0     660     =snd/
control.*               0:0     660     =snd/
timer                   0:0     660     =snd/
seq                     0:0     660     =snd/
midi.*                  0:0     660     =snd/
adsp                    0:0     660     >sound/
audio                   0:0     660     >sound/
dsp                     0:0     660     >sound/
mixer                   0:0     660     >sound/
sequencer.*             0:0     660     >sound/

Hello,
I am probably also affected by this issue, and unfortunately this turned out to 
be a complete showstopper for me.
When I reactivated my WL500W a couple of days ago, I tried to migrate to the 
newer kernel 2.6 branch hoping to be able to use pulseaudio on this device.
However, my previously working USB audio device (worked with 2.4 kernel branch) 
is not recognized at all, now.

Any help would be highly appreciated!

@artyom 
How did you manage to modify the mdev.conf file? The only instance I found was 
somewhere in /usr/ - and I couldn't make changes as this is read-only. Any 
advices for me?

Thanks guys,
Nix

Hello, strangea!
I'am sorry, i make a mistake in my previous comment. The right path to file is 
"/etc/mdev.conf". check his contents. If he is exists make changes by my 
comment above, after that need to add path "/etc/mdev.conf" to 
/tmp/local/.files and execute the command "flashfs save && flashfs commit && 
flashfs enable" to save changes on file system
