I use devfs too - at work(debian sid) and at home(debian woody).  For 
esoteric hardware which isn't supported in the main kernel it's nice as 
you don't have to pretend it's a different type of device to give it any 
device numbers.  I had problems getting sound to work with it, but I was 
also changing to ALSA at the same time.  I was in one of those "going with 
the way of the future" moods.

Martin.
