sound question

You need to use an "audio" group, something fedora does not define.
I posted, maybe two months ago in this list, how to do that.
It should work for what you want.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

How to add the audio group in Fedora 6.

1) Change /etc/security/console.perms.d/50-default.perms
# <console>  0600 <sound>      0600 root
<console>  0660 <sound>      0660 root.audio

2) Create a file /etc/udev/rules.d/52-sound.rules with the following
contents:
# audio devices
KERNEL=="dsp*",                 GROUP="audio", Mode="0660"
KERNEL=="audio*",               GROUP="audio", Mode="0660"
KERNEL=="midi*",                GROUP="audio", Mode="0660"
KERNEL=="mixer*",               GROUP="audio", Mode="0660"
KERNEL=="sequencer*",           GROUP="audio", Mode="0660"
KERNEL=="sound/*",              GROUP="audio", Mode="0660"
KERNEL=="snd/*",                GROUP="audio", Mode="0660"
KERNEL=="beep",                 GROUP="audio", Mode="0660"
KERNEL=="admm*",                GROUP="audio", Mode="0660"
KERNEL=="adsp*",                GROUP="audio", Mode="0660"
KERNEL=="aload*",               GROUP="audio", Mode="0660"
KERNEL=="amidi*",               GROUP="audio", Mode="0660"
KERNEL=="dmfm*",                GROUP="audio", Mode="0660"
KERNEL=="dmmidi*",              GROUP="audio", Mode="0660"
KERNEL=="sndstat",              GROUP="audio", Mode="0660"

3) Create a group "audio" and add all users allowed to access
the audio devices.
