Hmm. Group changes usually require you
to log out and log back in again
to take effect. Have you tried this?
Also it complains that /dev/dsp is
busy and can't be used. Does that make sense?
/dev/dsp is for the deprecated
OSS/Free sound drivers ("Open Sound
System"). OSS/Free had no method of mixing sound if the hardware does
not support it. Thus, if one program is using the sound device, it
blocks sound I/O from other programs. Its successor, ALSA ("Advanced
Linux Sound Architecture") does sound mixing by default (in hardware if
its capable, otherwise through a software system called dmix), which
means that this is no longer a problem in most - if not all - cases.
