I don't think that udev picking up the device at module load time is the problem, the device does get set to group "audio" by udev (see a looong way below). I realize that I may have worded the bug subject wrong: it's possibly not a problem with uaccess but with adding the device to a seat. Sorry for that ;-) In 71-seat.rules, sound devices are handled specially: 71-seat.rules:10:TAG=="uaccess", SUBSYSTEM!="sound", TAG+="seat" 71-seat.rules:11:SUBSYSTEM=="sound", KERNEL=="card*", TAG+="seat" i.e. anything that does _not_ have KERNEL=="card*" is filtered out for some reason, and doesn't get the "seat" tag. The trouble is, /dev/snd/seq is a virtual device (alas, without an entry in /sys/devices/virtual/sound , is this an ALSA bug?), and is handled yet elsewhere in: 50-udev-default.rules:33:SUBSYSTEM=="sound", GROUP="audio", \ 50-udev-default.rules:34: OPTIONS+="static_node=snd/seq", OPTIONS+="static_node=snd/timer" i.e. it most probably doesn't have KERNEL=="card*", so does not get "seat" tag. How do I get /dev/snd/seq added to a seat, given that it has this strange "static_node=" option?</pre> </div> <hr> You are receiving this mail because: <ul> <li>You are the QA Contact for the bug.</li> <li>You are the assignee for the bug.</li> </ul> </body> </html>
