When I was at Texas A&M, I would sometimes annoy my roommate by
sending fun .au's to his /dev/audio, and once evesdropped on him and a
friend making a gameplan by sending his /dev/audio to my /dev/audio.
He quickly made the mode on /dev/audio 0660.
The permissions are correct. The idea is that only people in audio
group can wake you up in the middle of the night. You need to add
yourself (and anybody else you want to have access to your speakers)
to the audio group.
