# CONFIG_DEVFS_FS is not set in /etc/modutils/alsa, but alsa won't come up,

This is only for device nodes in /dev/, if devfs is enabled. If I get alsa to recognize the device_mode=0660 (for
instance by
changing my potentially wrong kernel .config),
Your kernel configuration isn't wrong. If you don't know what devfs
is, don't enable it.
where would the oss-emulation of my card that is now
at
/proc/asound/card1/pcm0p/oss show up in /dev?
It wouldn't. The files in /proc/asound are just for debugging and/or
tuning.
The files in /dev are used to actually access the sound devices (OSS
emulation devices like /dev/dsp, and ALSA devices in /dev/snd/). If
devfs is not enabled, you can change the permissions of the files in
/dev with chmod.
