Remember, I'm using devfs, so the initial permissions are what the kernel
gives. That said, at boot, I deliberately chmod 666 /dev/sound/*. 
However, it appears that afterward, permissions change (I'm not sure why
-- and I use Blackbox).

All this is on a COL-3.1.1 setup (obviously highly modified).  But my LFS
systems look identical to this.
