Ok, i did that, but it doesn't help:

[florin@rivendell florin]$ ls -l /dev/snd/*
crw-rw-rw-    1 root     root     116,   0 Jul 22 22:37
/dev/snd/controlC0
crw-rw-rw-    1 root     root     116,  24 Jul 22 22:37
/dev/snd/pcmC0D0c
crw-rw-rw-    1 root     root     116,  16 Jul 22 22:37
/dev/snd/pcmC0D0p
crw-rw-rw-    1 root     root     116,  33 Jul 22 22:37 /dev/snd/timer
[florin@rivendell florin]$

I changed snd_device_mode to 0600, and the permissions changed in
/dev/snd, so it looks like the setting does makes a difference.
However, i still can run alsamixer only as root.

This is incredibly frustrating, because i used ALSA in the past, and it
worked fine.
