 No, no. It works like this. A device (ie. /dev/audio) has a read/write access 
for a audio group. Go to a shell and type ,,groups'' to see what groups is 
your user in. If you want to disallow access to an audio for somebody, you  
simply remove him from audio group. It's ok for users who are using os with 
ssh/VNC. He would not be able to do mpg123 noisysound.mp3 while you work.

 Same goes for video. There's an video group. 

 Read manpages for: addgroup, adduser. See /etc/passwd and /etc/group for 
details.
