I recently had to teach myself a bit of rulewriting to fix an issue with ConsoleKit and device node ACL permissions. If you venture into this, have a look at the manual for the '--attribute-walk' command of udevadm. On my system the command udevadm info --query=name --name=/dev/snd/controlC0 --attribute-walk lists all the possible matching criteria for the controlC0 device node. Also keep in mind that udev seems to only take the first two matching kriteria in a rule into account, and in your case theese should identify the mic uniquely. The rule could the trigger en external script. The rule should be numbered somewhere in the 80's I suppose, since by then most of the other rules dealing with sound have been processed. ;)Frode -- Da sa Gud: "Det bli lys!"
