You might be a member of group audio, but do /dev/audio and /dev/dsp
belong to group audio? Here's what I have:

bash-2.01$ ls -l /dev/audio /dev/dsp
crw-rw----   1 root     audio     14,   4 Mar 15 18:38 /dev/audio
crw-rw----   1 root     audio     14,   3 Mar 15 18:38 /dev/dsp

But on the out-of-the-box Debian they used to belong to
root.root. Chown them to root.audio.

Hope this helps,
