Hi Afif, That sounds like a great idea to me.
It's a pretty trivial change, but I've attached a patch file if it's of any use to you.

From b8ff0c87d1874cde55176d13725205188a862827 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Daniel Keast <[email protected]> Date: Wed, 28 Dec 2016 19:40:58 +0000 Subject: [PATCH] Remove audio from list of extra groups Adding users to the audio group causes issues with fast user switching. The user logged in to the active virtual terminal automatically has access to sound devices, the audio group is for allowing access to the device at any other time. Since only one user can use a sound device at a time, switching away from a user in this group does not remove access and leaves the newly logged in user with no audio. https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Audio/TheAudioGroup https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Advanced_Linux_Sound_Architecture#User_privileges https://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/Software/PulseAudio/Documentation/User/PerfectSetup Closes #849265 --- AdduserCommon.pm | 2 +- adduser.conf | 2 +- doc/adduser.conf.5 | 2 +- doc/po4a/po/adduser.pot | 2 +- doc/po4a/po/da.po | 4 ++-- doc/po4a/po/de.po | 4 ++-- doc/po4a/po/es.po | 4 ++-- doc/po4a/po/fr.po | 4 ++-- doc/po4a/po/it.po | 4 ++-- doc/po4a/po/pl.po | 4 ++-- doc/po4a/po/pt.po | 4 ++-- doc/po4a/po/pt_BR.po | 6 +++--- doc/po4a/po/ru.po | 4 ++-- doc/po4a/po/sv.po | 4 ++-- examples/adduser.local.conf | 12 ------------ examples/adduser.local.conf.examples/adduser.conf | 2 +- 16 files changed, 26 insertions(+), 38 deletions(-) diff --git a/AdduserCommon.pm b/AdduserCommon.pm index e329bba..3d90aae 100644 --- a/AdduserCommon.pm +++ b/AdduserCommon.pm @@ -210,7 +210,7 @@ sub preseed_config { $configref->{"name_regex"} = "^[a-z][-a-z0-9_]*\$"; $configref->{"exclude_fstypes"} = "(proc|sysfs|usbfs|devpts|tmpfs)"; $configref->{"skel_ignore_regex"} = "dpkg-(old|new|dist)\$"; - $configref->{"extra_groups"} = "dialout cdrom floppy audio video plugdev users"; + $configref->{"extra_groups"} = "dialout cdrom floppy video plugdev users"; $configref->{"add_extra_groups"} = 0; foreach( @$conflistref ) { diff --git a/adduser.conf b/adduser.conf index d045994..d167a4b 100644 --- a/adduser.conf +++ b/adduser.conf @@ -74,7 +74,7 @@ SKEL_IGNORE_REGEX="dpkg-(old|new|dist|save)" # new users to other groups. # This is the list of groups that new non-system users will be added to # Default: -#EXTRA_GROUPS="dialout cdrom floppy audio video plugdev users" +#EXTRA_GROUPS="dialout cdrom floppy video plugdev users" # If ADD_EXTRA_GROUPS is set to something non-zero, the EXTRA_GROUPS # option above will be default behavior for adding new, non-system users diff --git a/doc/adduser.conf.5 b/doc/adduser.conf.5 index d9bdc5f..c2df58f 100644 --- a/doc/adduser.conf.5 +++ b/doc/adduser.conf.5 @@ -136,7 +136,7 @@ EXTRA_GROUPS (below). .TP \fBEXTRA_GROUPS\fB This is the list of groups that new non-system users will be added to. -By default, this list is 'dialout cdrom floppy audio video plugdev users games'. +By default, this list is 'dialout cdrom floppy video plugdev users games'. .SH NOTES .TP \fBVALID NAMES\fB diff --git a/doc/po4a/po/adduser.pot b/doc/po4a/po/adduser.pot index 9387feb..3c8a307 100644 --- a/doc/po4a/po/adduser.pot +++ b/doc/po4a/po/adduser.pot @@ -979,7 +979,7 @@ msgstr "" #: ../adduser.conf.5:140 msgid "" "This is the list of groups that new non-system users will be added to.
