Good idea is to use pam_group module to add user to audio group in login, kde 
(but not ssh :) ) pam configuration.

"auth       optional   pam_group.so"  in /etc/pam.d/kdm (or kde; depends on 
compile time settings)  and "*;*;*;Al0000-2400;audio" in 
/etc/security/group.conf will give audio group privileges to users logging in 
using kdm.
