sound server message on startup

[Joris Huizer <joris_huizer@yahoo.com>]

Hello,

I'm getting an error on startup about a sound driver :

---------------------
Sound server informational message:

Error while initializing the sound driver:
device /dev/dsp can't be opened (Permissioned denied)

The sound server will continue, using the null output
device.
----------------------

I read like this - it seems only the root and "users
in the same group" (the second rw- entry right ?) can
use it:

-------------------------
jorishuizer@debian:~$ ls -lh /dev/dsp
crw-rw----    1 root     audio     14,   3 Mar 14 
2002 /dev/dsp
-------------------------

I don't exactly know what this /dev/dsp is - is it
save to change the rights by using "chmod 644" ?

Thanks in advance,

Joris
