I had this issue a while back when I forgot I had installed without
setting permissions to 'low'. So, first, set your permissions to low
or at least medium. Setting permissions too high will only make your
life more difficult, and add very little protection (unless you're
tryin to save your system from YOU ;>
you'll prob'ly need to run 'chmod a+rx /dev/dsp' to enable audio,
'chmod a+rw /dev/midi' to enable midi, and 'chmod a+rw /dev/mixer' to
get your mixers goin'.
