DEVFS support ============= The ALSA driver fully supports the devfs extension. You should add lines below to your devfsd.conf file: LOOKUP snd MODLOAD ACTION snd REGISTER ^sound/.* PERMISSIONS root.audio 660 REGISTER ^snd/.* PERMISSIONS root.audio 660 Warning: These lines assume that you have the audio group in your system. Otherwise replace audio word with another group name (root for example). /Johan Gill, [EMAIL PROTECTED] _______________________________________________________________ Sponsored by: ThinkGeek at http://www.ThinkGeek.com/ _______________________________________________ Alsa-user mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/alsa-user
