Regarding the property 'Use audio device' and my motion (comment #48).
Giving it a second thought the rename might be unfortunate. Especially
if one does not have consolekit installed.
If consolekit IS NOT installed than assigning a user to audio group
makes an audio device accessible to him, which translates into 'Use
audio device' property which does that (by the way it seems that all
these properties translate into assigning the user to particular
groups).
If console kit IS installed, than upon log in/user switching, it
applies, through udev, acl to make /dev/{snd,audio,mixer) accessible by
the user which logs in/is switched to. Than, assiginig a user to audio
group doesn't make any sense and the name is misleading.
Bottomline. Since consolekit depends on ubuntu-dektop, which makes it
default and necessary package for ubuntu, the best solution would be not
to include a default desktop user in the audio group. It can be
performed by altering the gnome user profiles in /etc/gnome-system-
tools/users/profiles, see included attachment.
