I've been running Gentoo using busybox-mdev instead of udev on my
desktop PC for quite a while.  I'm the guy who started up
https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Mdev

  Last night, I ran a system update, mostly to get the latest Adobe
Flash security update.  Along the way, busybox also got upgraded from
1.23.0 to 1.23.0-r1.  Now, it does not set /dev/snd properly

[d531][root][~] ll /dev/snd
total 0
drwxr-xr-x  2 root root     160 Jan 29 12:12 .
drwxr-xr-x 16 root root    3400 Jan 29 17:12 ..
crw-rw----  1 root root 116,  2 Jan 29 12:12 controlC0
crw-rw----  1 root root 116,  4 Jan 29 12:12 pcmC0D0c
crw-rw----  1 root root 116,  3 Jan 29 12:12 pcmC0D0p
crw-rw----  1 root root 116,  5 Jan 29 12:12 pcmC0D2c
crw-rw----  1 root root 116,  1 Jan 29 12:12 seq
crw-rw----  1 root root 116, 33 Jan 29 12:12 timer

  The result is that a regular user can't play sound at all, unless I
manually chown -R the /dev/snd directory to root:audio.  busybox 1.23.0
is no longer in the Gentoo tree.  I reverted to busybox 1.22.1 and it
sets up /dev/snd properly to root:audio.  I'm sticking with that version
for the time being.  The following entries in /etc/mdev.conf did not
change between the versions of busybox...

# alsa sound devices and audio stuff
pcm.*           root:audio 660 =snd/
control.*       root:audio 660 =snd/
midi.*          root:audio 660 =snd/
seq             root:audio 660 =snd/
timer           root:audio 660 =snd/

  Any ideas?
