Yes it is. http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/hotplug/udev.git;a=blob;f=extras/udev-acl/udev-acl.c > If we could pass around /dev/soft_synth rights like we do the sound > card, we could make this work with user-space code.

The problem of course is that the tts daemon needs to watch this too and not choke if the device access to that soft_synth device goes away. > If this is only a kernel module change, I will sign up to do that.
