Hi,

About 12 lines long

Bloomin' massive, though there is only 3 or 4 lines concerning udev

udev-030-24
initscripts-7.80-1
dev-3.12-1

Not sure. I'm don't have anything specified on boot up, so I'll guess at
strict. However, I don't think that's really the main problem as if I
run without selinux on at all, I get the same result of no sound.

Which is probably what has hit me as sound was working prior to the
update run on Friday night.
