Hi guys, I have what seams like a interesting problem. I have written an ALSA app to record wav files and it runs while I am logged in an terminal as the logged in Gnome user or root. But when I su to another user, it can't find the default sound card. I am running FC6. I tried changing own of /dev/dsp to 'nobody', that did not work. Anyone know of this problem and a fix for it.
