A user added with the adduser command doesn't seem to have as many

use the sound system. That was the problem with xmms.
Which command line tool did you use to create the user? IIRC one of
them (luseradd) uses libuser as the backend, which can set the selinux
permissions correctly where as useradd does not.
There's also the point that adduser does what you tell it, and that's
not to add the user to lots of groups unless rootuser specifies
otherwise, while another tool might add users to groups that fit well
the the distro's philosophy. In the former case, sound might not while
in the latter it works well.
Before anybody will ask - adduser and useradd this is the same
thing.
It is in RedHattish systems, but not so in others.
