I was thinking one could extend shadow-utils so that supplementary groups
are read from that file, but the problem is that you don't _really_ want the
group added to every new user, just to actual human users, and figuring that
out (even by something simple like "when UID > n") adds a layer of
complication and fiddlyness that's probably not welcome.

What about dropping a new module for audio configuration into firstboot?
