All, currently the /dev/softsynth device in speakup has permissions 660. With the way opentts/speech-dispatcher and ospeakup are moving, it would work better for them if this device had permissions of 666 (world readable/writable). I saw that on my system there are some devices which are set up that way, so I am wondering if we can do it with softsynth. Would there be any security issues? Does anyone know of any linux kernel policies that would not allow it? Thanks, William
