This, however, is dependent on my being a member of the audio group. I did that manually a few days ago, to get around another issue I was having. Looking thru /etc/group now, I see a 'jackuser' group. Is that one you defined, and is it the 'preferred' group to put users into for pro-audio work? If so, maybe it would be better to assign /dev/raw1394 to jackuser instead. In any case, I would suggest adding a section to the 'installing CCRMA on F11 & 12' describing the need to subscribe the user to *some* priviledged group in order to access the specialized hardware. I would also suggest moving the section on the RT kernel up higher, as the first item after adding the CCRMA repositories, before even thinking about playing with applications. -- Rick Green "Those who would give up essential Liberty, to purchase a little temporary Safety, deserve neither Liberty nor Safety." -Benjamin Franklin "As for our common defense, we reject as false the choice between our safety and our ideals." -President Barack Obama 20 Jan 2009
