Since I updated to the latest packages in koji a few days ago the device nodes in /dev/snd/* no longer seem to have the right ownership/permissions which causes audio playback through alsa to fail. Doing a "chmod o+rw /dev/snd/*" makes audio work again.

What package is responsible for setting this up correctly so I can file bug against it?

My guess would be ConsoleKit

Yes and no. In past this happend to several sound cards too, root cause was that kernel /sys structure had changed, the HAL was not able to find the hardware, and the sound devices were not set correctly. CosoleKit takes the info from HAL, which is not aware of the card and does not set the permissions. Quick try: lshal | grep alsa
