Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: udev
At the moment, the freebob jack driver works by accessing /dev/raw1394,
which requires the user to be in the 'disk' group.
I notice there's also udev rules for /dev/video1394*, which gets set to
the video group. The comments in /etc/udev/rules.d/40-permissions.rules
imply it's less scarily privileged than /dev/raw1394.
Any possibility of a /dev/audio1394 which would get set to the audio
group, so normal users can access firewire audio devices?
I don't really understand the implications of all this, but one way or
another it seems to me that normal users should be able to use firewire
audio without being in the disk group.
I'm using a current Feisty.
By the way I'm impressed that it mostly works in feisty already - good
work everyone.
