Can you clarify this a bit for me? I started to hack on mdev,
explaining will prevent me from breaking things.

What this rule:

timer root:audio 660 >snd/foo

is supposed to do when /dev/timer is added?
(If it depends on CONFIG_xxx, explain all cases).

Meanwhile: after commit 21553 mdev stops on the FIRST
match, not last.
