I've managed to 'make sound come up on boot' by doing the following:

1. Change the 90-alsa.rules entry to:
SUBSYSTEM=="sound", KERNEL=="controlC*" RUN+="/sbin/salsa -l %n"
SUBSYSTEM=="sound", KERNEL=="pcm*"      RUN+="/sbin/salsa"

[Not sure if the changes to the first line or if the second line are
really needed.....]

2. Added the following 'local' policy:

module fixsalsa 1.0;

require {
        type udev_t;
        type alsa_etc_rw_t;
        class file { read getattr };
}

#============= udev_t ==============
allow udev_t alsa_etc_rw_t:file { read getattr };

System now boots without AVCs in either /var/log/messages or
/var/log/audit/audit.log, and sound is properly saved on shutdown and
restored on boot.

I am a bit confused, since /sbin/salsa is alsa_exec_t, so shouldn't
udev_t transition to alsa_t?
