What was wrong with the /dev/dsp and mixer permissions?

All the devices should be chowned automatically.
/etc/security/console.perms.d/50-default.perms lists:

<sound>=/dev/dsp* /dev/audio* /dev/midi* \
         /dev/mixer* /dev/sequencer* \
         /dev/sound/* /dev/beep \
         /dev/snd/*

<console>  0600 <sound>      0600 root

Which as you'd hope leaves you with permissions like this (FC5 logged in as
prefect):

crw------- 1 prefect root 14, 3 Jul 17 10:24 /dev/dsp
crw------- 1 prefect root 14, 0 Jul 17 10:24 /dev/mixer
