Nice tutorial.
I appreciate the way you did it, posting on astahost the link to your own blog, nice, smart and honest way for giving here an info you published somewhere else.
I also appreciated the tutorial on your blog, personally I am more familiar with rpm, I never used apt-get, so your tuto is very useful for me.
Just a small detail point, I am surprised by the "chmod 777" on /dev/dsp and /dev/mixer. This gives everybody permission of deleting /dev/mixer, isn't this too permissive ? I would add a "chmod o-w /dev/mixer" in order to prevent from an accidental removal.

Replying to oxydon Thank you yordan :) I agree with you chmod 777 is too permissive, it would even allow somebody to remotely play sound in your computer, but I thought the average desktop user would not care (at the moment I was writing), so chmod o-w /dev/mixer is better I will edit that on my blog right now, and sorry for the horrible delay. PS: back at the time articles were so few that I given the blog main page adress, to access this tutorial directly you can follow this direct link:http://metal-oxyde.Blogspot.Com/2008/10/how-to-set-up-sound-in-debian.html
