 The reason is in the above information.  You are matching against
 "ugen[0-9]+" but the device is "ugen1.3".  Note that [0-9]+ means one or
 more characters from the set of 0 through 9.  No ".".  Try fixing the
 ugen regular expression to allow for the ".".  e.g.
 
 "ugen[0-9.]+" 
 
 or 
 
 "ugen[0-9]+.[0-9]+"
