[linux-audio-user] /dev/raw1394 permissions. Using firewire interface Focusrite Saffire

Hello, I've just bought a Focusrite Saffire LE firewire audio interface (323€ at alfasoni.com) and it works fine with freebob. So far I'm very happy with audio quality and line/mics connectivity (also having a hardware monitoring tool for linux would be great, but not crucial for me) After updating the jack version so it have the freebob driver, I start jackd -d freebob and I get: Freebob using Firewire port 0, node -1 Ieee1394Service::initialize: Could not get 1394 handle: Permission denied Is ieee1394 and raw1394 driver loaded? Fatal (devicemanager.cpp)[68] initialize: Could not initialize Ieee1349Service object Fatal (freebob.cpp)[69] freebob_new_handle: Could not initialize device manager FreeBoB ERR: FREEBOB: Error creating virtual device That's because a normal user does not have access to raw1394 $ ls -l /dev/raw1394 crw-rw---- 1 root disk 171, 0 2006-12-17 16:10 /dev/raw1394 Doing $ sudo chmod o+rw /dev/raw1394 solves the problem. However after a new reboot the permissions have been reset. I'm running ubuntu feisty (testing) $ uname -a Linux macbook 2.6.19-7-generic #2 SMP Mon Dec 4 16:46:19 UTC 2006 i686 GNU/Linux So what is the supposed way to work with firewire? Maybe changing raw1394 group ownership to audio? Thanks, Pau -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by MailScanner, and is believed to be clean.
