As I wrote above, I found the real problem: I installed also the complete 'esound' (client, common and daemon), as GNOME 2.2 requires it. So, w/o the daemon started and only one card (snd-i8x0), even a 'normal user' can use sound. So the problem was due to 'esound'. Now I've purged the daemon and client package (the common files are the only real required by GNOME) and all is ok.I reinstalled ALSA packages and now I found the problem: it seems as there's a little problem when I've only a sound card installed. I mean, in the new installation from .deb packages I selected 2 sound cards: - the dummy one - the intel8x0 Then, when I started XMMS as normal user 'luca' and I choose the 2nd sound card (the 1st is the "dummy" one, the 2nd the "intel8x0" one): all worked perfectly. So, I made some different test:
- it doesn't matter if the nodes in the /dev dir are owned by 'root.audio' or 'luca.audio' or 'luca.luca' (anyway, all the general symbolic lynk are owned by 'root.root'), so I left all the /dev nodes as from the 'snddevices' script ('root.audio')
- if I configured only one sound card (the "intel8x0") I can't use XMMS as normal user, but only as 'root' (even changing the permission and the owners of /dev nodes)
As I installed 2 sound cards, but only the snd-card-1 is the real one, I created all the symbolic links to the related snd-card-1 devices and now even my normal user can benefit fo the ALSA packages :-)
I don't understand what's the real problem, anyway now it works, this is the important. Thanks to all for the help!
Thx anyway to all people having helped me, bye, Gismo / Luca
