The group of /dev/sound is not set to 'audio' but 'root'. When I emerge coldplug (it's not blocked?!) and start coldplug on boot the group is is set to 'audio' as expected. The permissions/groups of the other sound-related devicefiles and links in /dev are correct. ebuilds used: udev-89-r2, coldplug-20040920
Please un-emerge coldplug. It's a bug right now that you are able to have both udev and coldplug in the system at the same time, I'm working to fix the coldplug issue soon.

But then the permissions are not correctly set and I cannot access sound devices as a user (which is in group 'audio')!

You can access them just fine. # ls -ld /dev/sound drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 160 2006-04-04 20:15 /dev/sound # ls -ld /dev/snd drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 320 2006-04-04 20:15 /dev/snd All sound works, both OSS emulation and alsa.
