My apologies if this brings back an old topic.  Ever since the
wonderful inclusion of Udev in LFS, I have had to modify the
permissions post-build.  I have built BLFS-svn w/X+KDE about 4 or 5
times since then and each time I have needed to append   , MODE="0666"
 to each rule in the /etc/udev/rules.d/15-alsa.rules file in order to
allow all the unprivileged users access to the sound device.  Could we
make this change?  I don't see any reason to lock down the sound card,
unless someone knows of a vulnerability I am unaware of.  I could also
see allowing group-based write access to the device, but again it is
not mentioned anywhere that I could see how to accomplish this.  Is is
possible to add the "audio" group to the "users" group?  It didn't
work when I tried.

Thank you!
