[olug] sound?

[Rob Townley]

egrep -i 'pulse|audio|sound|rtkit' /etc/group

rtkit is the realtime part of pulse, but that group is not needed.  i would
like to see documentation on what groups to append to default groups for
sound and cd burning.  But more importantly, for all the groups in
/etc/group, what each particular group enables and the security
ramifications of each.

Permission changes require at least logout/login to become effective ....
maybe even a reboot since pulse sets cookies for X.  `id username` would
show i am a member of a particular group, but forget that it had not really
become effective yet.
