Udev config files

I had /dev/dsp permission problems stemming from udev configuration
problems.
In /etc/udev/udev.conf the configuration files are set to:
udev_rules="/etc/udev/rules.d/"
udev_permissions="/etc/udev/permissions.d/"
but the rules and permissions are installed as
/etc/udev/udev.{rules,permissions}
udev does not complain about this (it even silently ignores the
permissions if the perm config is corrected but the rules config is
not). (I've notified the udev people about this.)
The mismatching config files seems to be a udev Makefile problem... a
patch could be created to fix this.
On the Lunar side, the permissions files could be a bit better:
the line
dsp1:::0666
should be
dsp*::audio:0660
(I suppose the udev 'generic distribution' configuration doesn't assume
that an audio user group exists.)
