this doesn't work on my RH8.0 system, ls -la /dev/dsp crw------- 1 airlied root 14, 3 Aug 31 2002 /dev/dsp RH has chowned it to me because I'm logged in on the console but if I log off it gets set to 600 and root.root the proper way i suppose on RH8.0 is to edit /etc/console.perms, and add new classes for ssh terminals to make the /dev/dsp become 660 and add an audio group.. needless to say my first answer works for a simple system with only one user playing mP3s in all cases on all flavours of Linux, but logging in and out an RH console will mess it up again.. aarrggh... so there probably is no one true answer..
