alsaplayer problems
[Please Cc: replies to me, I'm not subscribed to debian-user]
I'm having problems using alsaplayer. For some reason, everything works
perfectly as root, but when I try to run it under a non-root user, it
fails with the following:

The thing is, said user already belongs to group 'audio', and I've checked
that /dev/snd/* and /dev/sound/* are all writable by audio. (I use DevFS.)
Furthermore, alsamixer works under said user without any problems, and
even aplay works. I don't understand why alsaplayer doesn't. I think I
must be missing something obvious. Any ideas?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

The design document is what the program should do. The source code is what
the program actually does. On a good day, they might actually resemble each
other...
