/dev/mixer

[gbell72]

I'm presently working in windowmaker with no decent graphical mixer program.
I've attempted to use /dev/mixer but I continuously get a permission denied,
even after I have su - to root.  Root is a member of the sys group is there a
reason why root is being denied access to this program?  When I do an ls -l  I
get crw-rw----    1 root     sys       14,   0 Jul 18  1994 /dev/mixer
Does anyone know how I can fix this?

Thanks

Gardner
