 You should have a /dev/sequencer file like this:

crw-rw----   1 root     audio     14,   1 Dec 31  1969 /dev/sequencer

 So you may add sound-allowed users to the `audio' group by typing as
root:

 adduser username audio

 These users will be allowed to use the sound devices. Note that this may
imply a potential security risk, as these users will be allowd to peek
through a connected microphone.
