Help with what? export.... is only intended to make the variable empty
so that the message above does not appear after a su to root. It does
not turn a non-working audio into a working one.
Your original problem (no CD audio as a user) has been solved. No audio
as root is an interesting problem but hardly critical. I have no issue
with audio as a user or as root when playing a CD. Reviewing any tweaks
you have made to the system is advised.
