Since I've just spent a couple of hours working out why my machine didn't work upon upgrading udev and pulseaudio as suggested, I thought I'd add this for anyone who comes upon this bug report:
You need to have a recent kernel (I think it's > 2.6.29, but I'm not sure) and you need not to have the kernel config option CONFIG_SYSFS_DEPRECATED set. If you've got one of those two things wrong, udev should output the following warning in your syslog: udev: deprecated sysfs layout (kernel too old, or CONFIG_SYSFS_DEPRECATED) is unsupported, some udev features may fail In which case, it's time to upgrade your kernel package or recompile your home-brew version with different options!
