Sound not accessible to non root users anymore

[Boyan]

Hi,

Recently after upgrade in rawhide (2-3 days ago) I'm not able to use 
correctly any program using sound. The reason is that the ownership and 
  mode for /dev files are not like before. I think before they was like 
this:

crw------- 1 MY_USER root

Now they are:

crw-rw---- 1 root root

Excluding /dev/dsp which now is:
crw-rw-rw- 1 root root

but everything now uses alsa and the files in /dev/snd/* can not be 
opened by users.

Anybody know what changed and how to reconfigure it back?

Thanks!

HAL daemon must be running.

The access is now granted by HAL daemon setting ACLs on the device
nodes. 'getfacl /dev/snd/controlC0' should show whether they are
properly assigned.
