System info:
$ uname -a
Linux ern0notebook 2.6.31-19-generic #56-Ubuntu SMP Thu Jan 28 01:26:53 UTC
2010 i686 GNU/Linux
$ cat /proc/asound/version
Advanced Linux Sound Architecture Driver Version 1.0.20.
I did not change any ALSA or console settings, as far as I know.
Also, I can't play music on my desktop machine by logging to it via SSH
and starting VLC (controlling via stdin commands), unless I don't log in
as the same user. My desktop machine is a very same system, an almost
virgin install of Ubuntu 9.04. Have to notice, it was working before,
the problem was appeared only some weeks ago.
I think it's just a rights issue around ALSA or I don't know what, but
it should cause mystic problems on systems which runs automated movie
player, remote controlled music player or similar stuff.
