Pulseaudio not working with custom kernel.

[Andrea]

Hi,

I've tried to recompile the kernel from sources and I have a problem with the audio layer.
I am not using any Fedora Patch, this is just the plain kernel from www.kernel.org.

pulseaudio fails at start saying the it cannot open the audio device.

I've run strace on pulseaudio and the (first) difference is here

Fedora kernel:
open("/dev/snd/controlC0", O_RDONLY)    = 15

Custom kernel:
open("/dev/snd/controlC0", O_RDONLY)    = -1 EACCES (Permission denied)

The problem is in the directory /dev/snd

Booting Fedora Kernel:
ll /dev/snd
crw-rw----+ 1 root root 116, 13 2008-06-18 22:00 controlC0
crw-rw----+ 1 root root 116,  6 2008-06-18 22:00 controlC1

Recompiled kernel:

1) Has anybody tried it?
2) Does anybody know what the + is in the directory listing?
3) why the minor devices number are different?
