permissions on sound devices

[jurvis lasalle <lasalle@xxxxxxxx>]

I have  a problem that systematically occurs, but I cannot reliably 
reproduce.  Upon console login, ownership of sound devices is given to 
the user.  Upon logout, it reverts to root.  Sometimes however, the 
former user retains ownership and the next user cannot direct output to 
the sound devices.  I can't recreate what causes the break down but 
across the lab can see that it generally happens after 2 weeks of 
uptime.  My research turns up the solution of chmod 660 the sound 
devices and chgrp them to audio after adding all my users to that 
group.  OK- that will work and not necessarily be too large a pain in 
my ass, but that doesn't satisfy my desire to know what's breaking 
down.  Does anyone here have suggestions for diagnosing this problem?

TIA,
Jurvis LaSalle
