~ I can confirm that this issue still exists as well with new
installations using Gnome 2.8. The udev workaround of entering
something like the following in /etc/udev/permissions.d/udev.permissions
still works:
pmu:root:audio:0660
~ The most insightful comment on that thread back in Movember was
Michel Danzer's[0] which mentioned that the issue has to do with
references to acme integration in gnome-settings-daemon. Does that
imply that this would be something for Gnome to fix upstream? I have
not looked at the code or configuration files.
