I believe that should just be "alc0" not the path. Additionally I did run into a problem when I was testing that to reply to your previous mail, if an invalid interface was used with -U, the main dhcpcd process would stop responding to further control connections (with a log message in /var/log/daemon, "ps_ctl_dispatch: cannot handle another client"). I was about to report it upstream but had a look at the few post-7.4.0 commits and wondered about one of them; testing with git head it looks like that did indeed fix it, so I've updated the version in ports to include that. (I think it's not all that common a case so I'm not planning on backporting to -stable for that, however it seems that just avoiding using an invalid interface name avoids that issue anyway).
