I run xmms from another machine (as an X session) and unless I force a change of ownership on the sound files (i.e. change to 666) xmms cannot play. I can fix this in rc.local, but I'd rather get this right the 'pam' way.
What do I need to do in order to get the sound files read and writeable by xmms when run from X on my other machine?
I've added:
<xconsole> 0666 <sound> 0600 root
to console.perms and added xmms into console.apps (did I need to do this?), but the perms steadfastly remain 0600 when I start xmms. What else do I need to do? Is a re-start required or have I missed some other configuration?

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?

Hi Jurvis,
The initial user to log onto the console is given hightened privilages
regarding accessing devices and halting or rebooting the system.
To see what is effected, the users privs, and the user/privs afterwards, have
a look at the file:
/etc/security/console.perms
