That is EXACTLY the problem...Woody doesn't come this way "out of the
box". You have to add all your users to the audio group and then do a
re-boot. You can use the KDE "user manager" to do this rather easily or
you can use the "addgroup" at a root command-line prompt.
There is something "fishy" about the cdrom permissions too. I could not
play audio CDs as a user, again because of a permissions problem. The
problem seems to be on the actual device itself (/dev/hdc) rather than
on the /dev/cdrom, which is just a sym-link. I changed my /dev/hdc and
/dev/hdd (both CDROMS) to 777 and it started working ok. This probably
causes some sort of security hole, but I can live with it....
All things are working nicely now!
