usually this doesn't work, too, because /dev/snd is symlinked to
/proc/asound/dev, which you cannot modify the permission explicitly
via chmod or chown.
the only way to change the owner/permission is to pass a proper module
option to snd.o at starting the alsa.

if it's a devfs, then a different matter, though.
