I have tried creating this rule: /etc/udev/rules.d/40-seq.rules KERNEL=="snd/seq", GROUP="audio", MODE="0666"
...but I'm not sure about the kernel key pair. I have tried matching "/dev/snd/seq" and just "seq" aswell. The Bug 406871 for sys-fs/udev-171-r5 looks exactly right, butI have sys-fs/udev-171-r6 installed. I''l check my kernel config and try disabling tmpfs. I have read that it helps real time audio performanc with jack(audio-connection-kit)though. I have tried removing all the rules in /etc/udev/rules.d. but the mode and permissions on /dev/snd/seq persist.

Ah, yes, I did a quick search on b.g.o and found this: https://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=406871 So my comment is wrong, it doesn't have anything to do with devtmpfs, but udev upstream did fix it :) .
