I'm surprised no one has mentioned the permissions on the
audio devices themselves. What, for instance, are the permissions
on /dev/dsp? If it's set to (for example) -rw------ root audio then no
wonder you can't use the device as a non-root user.
You could circumvent the issue and just chmod 666 your audio
device files (/dev/audio, /dev/sequencer, /dev/dsp etc.) if you don't
expect someone telnetting in and sending stuff out your sound card in
the middle of the night and waking you up :).
It probably is more sensible to add yourself to the audio group and make the
sound device files owned by that group. But you said it didn't work for you.
But, what were the permissions set to? If you didn't set them to 640 (i.e.,
-rw-rw--' then you wouldn't have been able to access them even if you did
change the group info.
