LFS is category 1 by default, since ownership of audio devices is linked to the audio group, and neither HAL nor ConsoleKit are installed. However, BLFS can fit any of the three categories, depending on which extra packages you want to install. There's also a 4th category, incidentally, which is where the distros are moving to, and which I use on my machine. That is, ConsoleKit and udev without HAL - using ACLs to grant and revoke permissions over the lifetime of a user session. It's probably equivalent to category 2 or 3, but with one fewer elements involved. Works for me as a Gnome user; not being a KDE user, I don't know if they've dropped HAL yet...
