The one thing which makes me really mad is a bug (which again 
haven't to find, but it was filed) that ConsoleKit (or 
PulseAudio, or Hal, or whichever *Kit is responsible for it) 
messes my ACLs so normal user cannot write to the sound device.  
Usually Ctrl+Alt+F1,Alt+F7 makes sound working, but this was 
addmitted as a bug by davidz almost three months ago, and since 
then NOTHING happened on this front.
