From what you both are reporting, and the fact that the sound devices are owned by root instead of a user, I suspect that pulseaudio is controlling who has access to the sound devices something like console.perms did before. From what I have read in the man pages, it sounds like HAL talks to the pulseaudio daemon and tells it who can play sound. You may be able to change the configuration so that more then one user can use pluseaudio at the same time...

My previous Fedora 7 seemd to be OK.I think I'm in a similar situation. I often have two users logged in simultaneously (:0 and :1), and I'd like both to be able to access sound-related devices. In the past I fiddled with console.perms, but I guess that's not the way F8 works. I'm curious if my occasional inability to start the pulseaudio volume control ("connection refused", I think) is related. (I just rebooted, and now it works for me. I'm the first user to login [on :1], though. Maybe now it won't work for :0 users?) Reid
