DSP problem

Hi guys

I had a problem with the audio when I upgraded.  I believe this was
caused by the fact that I have set up Arklinux to use a multi-user
login, rather than autologin with arklinux user.

The error I was getting was:

Error opening /dev/dsp....


This was an X warning.  I dug around for a bit as root and found that
it worked, but not as any other users == Security Issue.

I looked on the Alsa website for some hints about 2.6 Kernel and audio
but didn't turn up much.  I did notice in a build script that someone
did this though:


~    chmod 666 /dev/dsp* /dev/mixer* /dev/sequencer* /dev/midi*

I know that kernel 2.6 builds devices on the fly so I assumed it's
just making this one with the wrong permissions.  When I checked, only
Root had access to DSP0.

So, to fix for all users, I've added that line to /etc/init.d/modules
just before the '}' under the start function.


I hope this helps someone else out there.
