Why in the world would a streaming _server_ need access to the audio?
If it's streaming, it shouldn't be touching the audio hardware. The
_client_ might need something weird (not really, you can play Flash
and such without changes), but the _server_?
The only thing I can think of is that jukebox mode makes the server
actually play the audio on the server through the server's audio
hardware and MP3Act behaves as nothing more than a web-based remote
control for the server.
If that's the case, I think all you'd need is to add the apache user to
the "audio" group. As root:
# usermod -a -G audio apache
then restart Apache. Don't know for sure. SELinux might also get in
the way on this.
