How do I give my user account IOslave access?

I would like to be able to use the audio IOslave function in my users account. I have used it in root to copy audio cd's and it is quit nice IMHO. It essentially lets me rip songs which I can you to burn my own taylored cds. Any clues, README's, HOWTO, on how to setup audioIOslaves for the users (or IOslaves in general) will be greatly appreciated. TIA, Curtis
