I am having a hell of a time wit my sound configuration. When I log in as
root, sound works just fine with any application, however, when I log in 
as any other user, I get an error message stating that the app cannot
access the soundcard. Since it works when logged in as root, my only
assumption is that it must be a permission issue, however, I don't know
where to configure the permissions for sound access. I am using
SuSE 7.1. This happens in both KDE and Ximian Gnome, I haven't tried
this under any other window managers. Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks in advance.
