I also had a lot of probs with the new Kernel and switching to ALSA and UDEV. I solved it using the "snddevices" script out of the (with Kernel 2.6.3 obsolet) alsa-drivers package. I didn't installed that package, just unpacked it and executed the "snddevices" script so the needed devices got created. Since then ARTS with ALSA work fine. Hope that helps.
