Ludwig,
without tweaking anything, right after a "vanilla" installation, the
devices /dev/dsp and everything in /dev/snd has the permissions 0600
for the first user who logs in. subsequently logged in users do *not*
have any sound. Actually, a KDE session for such users starts with an
error Message from arts about the default device being busy. Xine-ui or
any other player with direct access to e.g. alsa also sheds an error
message about the sound device. After manually changing the file
permissions in /dev sound works for the other users too, as expected.

If this is not the default behaviour (as I thought), should I file a bug
report?
