Description Joe Acosta 2005-09-18 13:21:06 UTC
In 2.6.13 vanilla-sources alsa sound does not recgonize device_mode anymore.

I first noticed this in 2.6.13-rc6, and it is still in 2.6.13.

This is in the /etc/modules.d/alsa config file:

options snd device_mode=0666

This is also in the documentation at the alsa we site.  This sets the device
mode of the /dev audio devices

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. install a 2.6.13 vanilla-sources kernel
2. setup the snd options optsion snd device_mode=0666 in /etc/module.d/alsa
3. run modules-update
4. none of the sound modules load
Actual Results:  
soud will not load

Expected Results:  
it should work, as it works in 2.6.12-gentoo-sources

>> snd: Unknown parameter `device_mode'

Don't use that anymore. You need to set that up in udev rules or in the 
static /dev.

How does one do that?  Shouldn't the default udev be mode = 666 for the sound? 
Or do I have to add my uid to the sound group?
