They still are. The only problem is when module is loaded *after* you
have logged in. In this case sound devices get 660 as per devfsd.conf.
I believe, pam_console_apply should be extended to allow device name as
argument and used in devfsd.conf, like
REGISTER .* EXECUTE /sbin/pam_console_apply $devpath
We do not need to do anything on unregistered.
What I do *not* like, is that this triggers CHANGE action additionally.
But that's another problem ...
