FC2/Sound Blaster Live! (emu10k1) problem

[Noah John Gellner]

My experience with Fedora was that it defaulted to strict permissions to
/dev/* When the user does not have permission to the components, for
example /dev/mixer, Redhat outputs the squirrelly error message. Have a
look at the permissions in /dev and change them if necessary. I usually
create an audio group that has permissions to the device and then add
the users to the group.
