my /dev/dsp and /dev/mixer have 600 permissions and music plays fine under
any account. RH6.x (I think.. I run 6.2 so we're pretty much on the same
page) changes ownership of the devices to I think the first account logged
into the box, locally (I forget the details). This setup is prolly what's
changing the permissions as well as the owner of the devices. It does
everything automatically.. so if you change the settings, it'll change
them to whatever it should be.
If you use the box for playing mp3s under RH6.2, then you're logged
in. Only one person can be using those devices at any given time.. and
logically, only local users will hear music at all... therefore, if you
are in as user 'grape' then the devices will be character special files
with 600 permissions and owned by grape (provided grape was the first user
logged in).
etc.
