Well /dev/pmu is a device used for power management, as thus it can i belive switch of the box or enter sleep more or such. I have been told by some gnome person that this is probably a gnome bug, but i am not 100% convinced of this. Ideally, we would use some power group or something such, possibly a group similar to the one which would give access to the hardware and allow a user to do shutdown and such too. i don't think that audio or video are appropriate here.
