Unles I have misunderstood this completely sudo is NOT "a temporary log
in as root". It let's you execute a command as another user, MOST
COMMONLY as root.

However, bpa might still have a point, but I'm totaly stuck on how to
practicaly DO this. Squeezecenter seems to run under the user
"squeezecenter", but I can't get my system to allow login to this
account. I've given it a password, changed standard shell from
/bin/false to /bin/bash and even added the user to all the groups that
my main user account is a member of; still no luck. If I try to log in
as "squeezecenter" I just get a message that "the system administrator
has disabled your account". After setting the shell to /bin/bash I
don't get this message, but I'm just thrown out in a fraction of a
seccond.

(And still I can't see why it should even make a difference from
running it with the "sudo -u" command.) I have no .asoundrc file on my
system.
