With Joe's help, I modified my /usr/bin/adduser script to
automatically add the user to the audio group upon being created.
This seems to work well.  (I'm trying to give this build to a newbie
for testing, and he doesn't have a clue about permissions).  I don't
just want to give all users root permissions, even I need protection
from myself once in awhile. :)

That works. I tried to look at useradd and see if you could set a
default set of groups rather than just the default group. Doesn't look
possible from what I can see.

As an aside, Fedora works around the problem of user groups by using
the pam_console module that dynamically changes device permissions at
login. This method is dubious for security concerns. Debian outwardly
dismisses it as a hack job. The user groups style we use is very
similar to Debian.
