Interestingly enough, my system suffers from the same deficiency.
I have to do a "chmod a+rw /dev" for /mixer, /dsp and /midi, as well as a
chmod 666 for the cdrom's music options everytime I boot the system. I
slapped them in .bashrc for root, since I always (on purpose set this
up) have to log in as root to activate the ISDN dial-up. That way it
always gets set up when I start things.
I guess I can put them in rc.local also, but sometimes when changing from
X to other consoles (alt-f...) and back, the sound options get messed up
again. Then I log in as root again, exit that login, pop back to X
(alt-f7) and things are fine again.
