SB PCI 128 Sound onlys plays when root.

[benjamin mcgough <bmcgough@olywa.net>]

I think that this is a configuration problem involving file permissinos.

See below for hardware/software list.

I cannot seem to play sounds when logged in as a user, only when logged
in as root.  When I am root, they work just fine.  I am using the
Ensoniq 1370 driver from the 2.1.125 kernel, and I'm not using it as a
module, nor do I have OSS drivers installed.  I suspect that somewhere
along the way some file permissions got screwed up.  I looked in /dev
and I found these:

crw-rw----   1 root     audio     14,   4 Jul 20  1998 audio
crw-rw----   1 root     audio     14,  20 Jul 20  1998 audio1
crw-rw----   1 root     audio     14,   3 Jul 20  1998 dsp
crw-rw----   1 root     audio     14,  19 Jul 20  1998 dsp1
crw-rw----   1 root     audio     14,   2 Jul 20  1998 midi00
crw-rw----   1 root     audio     14,  18 Jul 20  1998 midi01
crw-rw----   1 root     audio     14,  34 Jul 20  1998 midi02
crw-rw----   1 root     audio     14,  50 Jul 20  1998 midi03
crw-rw----   1 root     audio     14,   0 Jul 20  1998 mixer
crw-rw----   1 root     audio     14,  16 Jul 20  1998 mixer1
crw-rw----   1 root     audio     14,   1 Jul 20  1998 sequencer
crw-rw----   1 root     audio     14,   8 Jul 20  1998 sequencer2
crw-rw----   1 root     audio     14,   6 Jul 20  1998 sndstat

    Should I have multiple /dev/audios and /dev/dsps?  Are they the
correct permissions.

Any help would be appreciated.  I'm so close to being able to use sound
under linux!

Please respond on this list if you think it will be useful to others,
but e-mail me privately otherwise.
