So I added the user to audio in /etc/group, also did the same for video a while back when kaffeine complained about no video, though OK with audio.

Sound and DVB devices are supposed to be detected by hal. hal-resmgr
will take care of device permissions when you log in then. There is
no need to put users in the audio or video group. If permission
handling doesn't work for some reason please file a bug report,
assign it to me and attach the output of "lshal",
"/usr/sbin/hal-resmgr --list-all" and "/sbin/resmgr sessions".

It didn't work before, now I've just removed the user from /etc/group and gizmo doesn't complain. I shall try it later after a reboot.
