Have a look at /etc/security/console.perms.d/50-default.perms - you have
to change this, I believe RHEL uses pam_console..

OK, it looks like my question was not clear enough.
When user X is logged in (via a graphical session), running a command as
another user (via text console, after su, via vnc etc.) doesn't see any
sound devices. I chmod'ed some audio/dsp/snd devices to 666, but then
I get some an about an IPC semaphore.
I explicitly want to run the sound-producing command as the other user,
so su/sudo'ing from that other user to the logged-in user is not an
option.
