I think the best approach in a multi-user environment is to chown /dev/snd/* devices at login time in /etc/X11/kdm/Xstartup. The only problem with this is that KDE support for "user switching" will run Xstartup when logging in any additional users. This will chown the sound devices to the new user, eliminating them for the first user logged in. If you come up with something better, let me know.
udev puts those devices in the "audio" group -- so just add your user(s) to that group as well, and things should work nicely :) Regards, Tilman -- A: Because it messes up the order in which people normally read text.
