Relationship between /dev and /udev

Hi,

I'm still trying to sort out the sound problem I'm currently
experiencing on my box and I'm looking at hwbrowser.

Now, the soundcards are showing up happily there as is the floppy drive
(as /dev/fd0 - this is missing in /udev). There is an equivalent entry
in /udev for all of my hard and optical drives (/dev/hdx etc), there
isn't a /udev entry for /dev/eth0 though

Is /udev supposed to be a direct mirror of /dev and is it now the case
that /udev is accessed in preference to /dev (which would account for
the lack of sound here - /udev/audio, /udev/dsp and /udev/mixer are all
reported as being missing)?

TTFN

Paul
