What is the output from 'cat /proc/asound/cards'?

Appearently, selinux handles user priviledges to sound devices (at least in F-8 I see extended attribute with selinux). Do you have selinux enabled? [root@t61 selinux]# ls -la /dev/snd/controlC0 crw-rw----+ 1 root root 116, 8 2008-09-15 15:36 /dev/snd/controlC0 [root@t61 selinux]# attr -l /dev/snd/controlC0 Attribute "selinux" has a 36 byte value for /dev/snd/controlC0
SELinux handles user privileges to sound devices? Are you serious? I can't use sound unless I have selinux installed? WTF
Ok, what happened was: something changed in the VT-handling (xorg now is in VT1, always used to be in VT8?) which confused ConsoleKit so it didn't see the user as logged in on a console or a local console; ConsoleKit-0.3.0-2 from koji fixes this. Could probably go ahead and close this bug now.
Thanks for the hint. Pointing to SELinux was mistake.

Note that ConsoleKit doesn't handle access through unix permissions but through ACL. Execute: getfacl /dev/snd/* and your user should be there with permission rw My box: getfacl /dev/snd/timer # file: dev/snd/timer # owner: root # group: root user::rw- user:david:rw- group::rw- mask::rw- other::---
