Well, just make an

What I don't understand is, why on this sound chip the root should has access if an user has the sound device open.
I assume that happens by fluke, because artsd opens the sound device, but if it's not needed for some seconds, it releases the device...
But that's only a wild guess and depends if you are using xmms over arts or alsa directly or oss or something else...
But judging from the type of audio device which is on the intel 845 boards, then it's for sure that the device can only handle one open at a time. I use such a board at work, too.

Ahh... I'll just have to live with one-user-sound for now. It's not such a big problem, since I only have two users. In the future however I'll try to fix it. I need to do some school work now and then I'll see what I can do :)
