Ah, but if it did it by default, I wouldn't have to do it by hand would I? Just like the single user on the machine not being added to the powerdev group automatically. If it had, we wouldn't be having this discussion. - From a server administration standpoint, adding a new user to various groups by hand makes sense. This is not a server, it's a desktop machine with one user that has been there since the system was first installed. What user, new to Linux, is even going to know the addgroup command exists? Or after 12 years of using Debian, someone like myself who finds it more efficient to just change the permissions on the device that seems to be broken? But thank you for the suggestion. I will go through and list all the groups (by the only way I know how, cat /etc/group) and add the one user to every group that isn't obviously wrong. Who knows what problems this might cause? I don't know. Maybe changing the permissions on /dev/dsp, /dev/hdc, /dev/raw1394 and the other "problems" that come up from time to time isn't such a bad idea after all.
