Share sound wmultiple users 901

Unruh

FC4 uses udev, it has adev-dsp, several other sound-related devices like amidi, audio, dmmidi, etc.

It also has a subdirdev-snd with the following content in my case: controlC0 hwC0D2 midiC0D1 midiC0D3 pcmC0D0p pcmC0D2c pcmC0D3p pcmC0D4p timer hwC0D0 midiC0D0 midiC0D2 pcmC0D0c pcmC0D1c pcmC0D2p pcmC0D4c seq

For all the aboe the rights are set to crw------ and the ownership to hans:root.

So there is no audio group on FC4. I created it, put all regular users in it, and added the two lines toetc-udev-rules.d-50-udev.rules Dances With Crows suggested.

Unfortunately I cannot chown hans:audio the devices. I am able though to chmod g+rw them. I think I need some more help in setting up the devs properly. Apparantly the dsp rules in the file are not applied, since the group should be set to audio now. Maybe the default setting (first line in the file) which sets owner-group for all devices to root:root by default. Weird also is the rights are at crw------- while the mode flag is set to 0660 in the rules file for ALL audio related stuff.

I did a reboot by the way, after a telinit q didn't do it. But no luck (yet). More help is appreciated.

Thanks sofar, kind regards Sh.
