From owner-bugtraq () CRIMELAB COM Wed Jan 3 16:29 PST 1996 I expect it does. But note that there is also: crw-rw-rw- 1 root sys 39, 0 Mar 4 1994 /dev/audio Workstation vendors *SHOULD* add these parts themselves (they are the ones who really know which device does what). At the very least they could put them into an if clause which you have to edit to activate. But they *SHOULD* add the relevent code themselves..... I look forward to hearing whether any vendor actually does do this. I will be even more impressed if there is one which does it correctly (and adds/changes lines as new devices are added!!).
