[Bug 498146] [NEW] No sound due to no groupmembership audio

[Jan de Haan]

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: kino

After installing kino in karmic with apt-get install kino, sound (and
normal replay) was not working in kino with the error message that
/dev/dsp was not available. Checking the device revealed that the rights
were limited to root:audio rw-rw---. After adding the desktop user to
the audio group with vigr and vigr -s and logging in anew, it works ok.

Two possible solutions:

Adding the current user to group audio during kino install in
kino.postinst.

Defining a desktop group which has rights on the device and make the
desktop users members of that group.

** Affects: kino (Ubuntu)
