likely your system/distro has a script it has configured gdm to run on login
that set up device ownership to you for sound. this is really a distro-specific
thing and not generic so its outside of entrance's domain and up to distro
packages to implement for their distro's policy.
rh traditionally have chowned the device to the logged in user
debian has used group permissions (ie add the user to the audio group and
/dev/dsp is writable by group audio)
because it varies form system to system - entrance does nothing and leaves it up
to you to hack (or package maintainers as i said)
