We recently changed the umask of the daemon from 022 to 077, which broke module-pipe-sink in the system mode, because nobody was allowed to read from the pipe. module-pipe-source in the system mode was probably always broken, because the old umask of 022 should prevent anyone from writing to the pipe. This patch uses chmod() after the file creation to set the permissions to 0666, which is what the fkfifo() call tried to set.
