Hi, Andrew. I don't know if it would be the case to deal with what I'm going to write about in this app your are developing. If it isn't, please just ignore this post. My trouble is to set jack to accept the 4 outs my Audigy soundcard has as independent channels. I've been trying to do so since I first started using Linux with Demudi about 2 years ago with no luck. Alsa recongnizes and adresses them correctly (with speaker test and alsa mixer), but I can't make it with jack nor with pd. I found some changes to be done at the .asoundrc file at the Alsa unofficial wiki, but that didn't work either. I've been doing the best I can, but being a musician and not a computer programmer, it's been quite a tough time trying to unveil all these magic spells to configure things by hand. I'd really apreciate it if this could be done in a more intuitive way. Or maybe I just should start saving money for another soundcard. :^) Thanks anyway. Best regards, Pietro

If you have not heard about it already, the Ubuntu Studio team is looking at creating an app that would easily allow users to change common settings that they may be currently editing by hand.[1] One of the features that we are considering is changing the permissions on raw1394 /etc/udev/rules.d/40-permissions.rules from disk to audio or video. This is a necessary change currently to enable firewire based devices to work as a regular user, such as firewire sound cards and video cameras. The other alternative solution is to add the user to group "disk", though this may also cause problems. The issue with this is that it creates a rather large security risk for the system, in that any device on the firewire bus can run with root privileges. This risk is less of an issue for stand-alone machines that do not use Ethernet over firewire, but is still something to consider. I would like to stress that it _will not_ be changed by default. All that we are considering is providing a more accessible way to modify those settings. In the future, when Ubuntu and by extension Ubuntu Studio move to the new firewire stack in the kernel, this issue will be an non-issue. The new kernel stack provides much finer granularity and control over permissions on specific devices. The question then I am posing to you guys is this: How many of you already change this setting by hand?
