I ran into a new problem while working on my BLFS system.  I am using 
version 6.2 of the book, but in this case just as a guide.  I have 
compiled ALSA-lib, ALSA-utils, ALSA-plugins and in my case, 
ALSA-driver.  I have deviated from the book in that I am using ALSA 
version 1.0.15, mainly because I could not get version 1.0.13 to work.

My problem is that I can get everything working fine as "root", but get 
the following error when I try "speaker-test" as a normal user.

/speaker-test 1.0.15

Playback device is default
Stream parameters are 48000Hz, S16_LE, 1 channels
Using 16 octaves of pink noise

/I have also installed mpg123 per the book instructions.  If I play an 
mp3 file as "root" it plays just fine.  If I try to play the same file 
as a normal user I get the following.

/I have tried searching google, and have read all of the README's in the 
ALSA tarballs and cannot seem to find an answer.  I am hoping that one 
of you can point me in the right direction.  If it matters, I am using 
kernel 2.6.23.12 with my sound card compiled as a module.  The card, as 
identified with "lspci" is as follows.

/00:06.1 Audio device: nVidia Corporation MCP55 High Definition Audio 
(rev a2)/

The output of "lsmod" is as follows.

/Module                  Size  Used by
