Being in the audio group is unnecessary and actually redundant. You
could check the ACLs on /dev/snd/*.

brian@desktop:~$ ls -l /dev/snd/*
crw-rw----+ 1 root audio 116,  2 Dec 17 22:29 /dev/snd/controlC0
crw-rw----+ 1 root audio 116,  4 Feb 28 13:11 /dev/snd/pcmC0D0c
crw-rw----+ 1 root audio 116,  3 Mar 14 17:55 /dev/snd/pcmC0D0p
crw-rw----+ 1 root audio 116,  6 Dec 17 22:29 /dev/snd/pcmC0D1c
crw-rw----+ 1 root audio 116,  5 Dec 17 22:29 /dev/snd/pcmC0D1p

crw-rw----+ 1 root audio 116, 33 Dec 17 22:29 /dev/snd/timer

/dev/snd/by-path:
