First off, these programs should NOT be sgid anything! The whole point of
group audio is that you may want to give access to these groups to anyone
logged in at the console and even permanently if logged in remote. I do
not relish the idea of someone with a remote account blasting an mp3 on my
machine because of a typo or even deliberately in the middle of the night
while I am trying to sleep.
That said, I think policy should mention this sort of thing for the sound
devices. Perhaps you might provide a proposal indicating the exact
changes to policy you're looking for? I'd be interested in reading it.
