Hi,


i do this every time i load the modules (i do this by hand because of
the quirkiness of mandrake! although im sure i could write it into my
startup script with no problems)... one note if you're running mandrake
is that ./snddevices isnt terribly helpful on a devfs distro - i've had
variable results after running ./snddevices, but its fine at the moment
without...

Hmm, manually setting this is no fun really :-)


maybe this helps:

/etc/devfsd.conf :

LOOKUP          snd          MODLOAD ACTION snd
LOOKUP          dsp*          MODLOAD
LOOKUP          mixer*        MODLOAD
LOOKUP          midi*         MODLOAD
REGISTER        sound/.*     PERMISSIONS root.audio 660
REGISTER        snd/.*       PERMISSIONS root.audio 660

This will react on module load and set the owner, group and permissions for
/dev/sound/* and /dev/snd/* to user.group: root.audio and _rw_rw___. Change
the last lines accordingly if you need different permissions and owner/group
settings.

This is from Gentoo Linux devfsd.conf but it should work with mandrake, too.

Regards,

Richard
