Permissions. I usually make /dev/dsp world writable, that solves the
problem.
I never understood why only root is allowed to play sound on a freshly
installed system; this forces users to either work as root all the time
(insecure) or modify the permissions anyway, so why don't modern distros
set up the permissions right from the start and save us a couple o'
keystrokes?
