What are the permissions for /dev/dsp?

I *always* do

chmod a+rw /dev/dsp*

after running snddevices or changing the symlink for /dev/dsp

xmms and other OSS apps running as normal user complain about not being 
able to find/access the device if you don't.

========================================

Being on stage with the band in front of crowds shouting, "Get off! No! 
We want normal music!", I think that was more like acting than anything 
I've ever done.
