At the moment I have to chown and chmod the /dev/snd/seq node every boot to make it accessible to my user. the other nodes are fine.

I can't find the udev rule or configuration that creates these nodes. Many thanks for any consideration. > > I have a hack for the same issue in my /etc/local.d/.

Ah, yes, I did a quick search on b.g.o and found this: https://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=406871 So my comment is wrong, it doesn't have anything to do with devtmpfs, but udev upstream did fix it :) .
