I have ALSA installed and as root I am able to speaker-test and play
default .wav files located in /user/share/sounds/alsa. When I try to do
any of this as a normal user, I get a lot of errors (sorry, the error
list was too long to write down by hand and I am e-mailing from my host
distro).
I visited http://www.alsa-project.org and they do suggest changing the
permissions on the following like this:
chmod a+rw /dev/dsp /dev/mixer /dev/sequencer /dev/midi
I have not done this yet because I am very cautious about doing things
in LFS/BLFS without confiming them first. Is the above command safe to
do? Will it allow me to use ALSA as a normal user? Is there another
method to get the same results?
Thanks for the help
