Not really sure HAL will help much here; Fedora already got it sort of
sorted out wrt. permissions etc.; we just want to change it to allow a
bit more flexibility than what /etc/security/console.perms in Fedora
offers; e.g. always allow user XYZ to access the sound card regardless
if he is logged into the console. Things like that. 

It's probably off-topic to discuss that here, btw :-)

No, I'm not really working on that; patches are welcome though :-)
