I am having some permissions trouble with sound, and I'm not sure the best way
to fix it.
I just upgraded to 7.2 and was having trouble getting xmms to play my
oggvorbis files. It seemed to be a permission problem because when I did
"sudo xmms", it worked. It also worked for me as a regular user after that.
However, when I try to run ogg123 from my wifes account, I get an error that
it "could not load the default driver. Audio devices may already be in use."
but I checked and I can't find anything else running on the audio.
So I just tried "play /usr/share/sndconfig/sample.au" from her account and got
"couldn't open /dev/dsp permission denied". I checked and sure enough the
permissions on /dev/dsp are:
crw------- 1 george root 14, 3 Aug 30 16:30 /dev/dsp
(my userid is george)
My question is:
How can I best set up the permissions so that she and I can both play (at
different times, obviously) music w/ XMMS?
Thanks!
