This is done by the usbcam script.  Owner is set to the same user as
/dev/audio (logged in X user) and chmod to 600.  This occurs at
module-load for usb.  But as I said, I can't seem to find permissions to
solve this problem.  I even logged in as root as someone suggested and no
go.  I reboot to Caldera and run Gphoto the GUI and it all runs smooth as
pudding.
