ooh, i had this lets see if i can remeber how i fixed it:)
yes, i had to edit /etc/security/console.perms there are entries that dictate
permisions that are set when a/the first? log is made, i have copied mine
here for you and you can see the differences, i think that all i did was
comment out the line that referred to setting 'sound' permissions and then
manually make sure all my users were members of the 'audio' group and make
sure the permissions on all the files mentioned in the 'sound' class listed
in the files were set to 0660 root.audio,
i think that's all i did, let us know if that works
bascule

All Hell hadn't been let loose. It was merely Detritus. But from a few feet
away you couldn't tell the difference.

# /etc/security/console.perms
#
# This file determines the permissions that will be given to priviledged
# users of the console at login time, and the permissions to which to
# revert when the users log out.
# format is:
# <class>=list of regexps specifying consoles or globs specifying files
# file-glob|<class> perm dev-regex|<dev-class> \
# revert-mode revert-owner[.revert-group]
# the revert-mode, revert-owner, and revert-group are optional, and default
# to 0600, root, and root, respectively.
#
# For more information:
# man 5 console.perms
# file classes -- these are regular expressions
