xmms works perfectly for root and user 1. Users 2, 3, 4 on the same machine cannot use it. Error message "mixer being used by another applcation, check permissions ..." /dev/mixer is u+rw user1:root
I tried changing the permissions to a+rw (yes i know but the machine is normally off line) but they get reset. I believe the idea is that /dev/mixer inherits the user who last used it but should set to the next user invoking it - that's how I interpret the documentation and Howtos.
