Hi,
Recently after upgrade in rawhide (2-3 days ago) I'm not able to use correctly any program using sound. The reason is that the ownership and mode for /dev files are not like before. I think before they was like this:
crw------- 1 MY_USER root
Now they are:
crw-rw---- 1 root root
Excluding /dev/dsp which now is: crw-rw-rw- 1 root root
but everything now uses alsa and the files in /dev/snd/* can not be opened by users.
Anybody know what changed and how to reconfigure it back?
HAL daemon must be running.
The access is now granted by HAL daemon setting ACLs on the device nodes. 'getfacl /dev/snd/controlC0' should show whether they are properly assigned.
Ok, it seems now that ACL's are required for working sound. It's a bit strange for me. My kernel is not fedora's kernel, and I think I'm not the only one who don't use ACL's and hald.

Anything more conventional excluding doing chown every time? I'm the only one using this computer. I'm wondering what was the problem with the old and working way...
