or does the www-data (apache) user needs special user permissions to access the devices /dev/video0 /dev/dsp ? i have no clue, is there a way to see some output? thx for the help :)

You can become the user you want to test permissions for: sudo su - su - www-data On my Feisty install the www-data user does not have the permissions you require. cat /dev/dsp cat: /dev/dsp: Permission denied To access /dev/dsp the www-data user needs to be a member of the audio group. You can use usermod to add the audio group to the www-data user: usermod -G www-data,audio www-data After this I begin to get output from /dev/dsp as the www-data user. Hope that help. -- Greg Donald http://destiney.com/
