Hi, When you logged in on display 0, the system (pam -> devfsd, if I recall correctly) set you to be the owner of /dev/dsp (actually /dev/sound/dsp, /dev/dsp is a symlink to that), hence the Permission Denied. I think this could be fixed, but that would require giving at least group-wide access, which would mean that any user in that group would be allowed access to sound hardware (does DSP provide recording? Haven't tried). If you have lots of different users logging on locally while you're in and want everyone to have sound and all this to happen automatically and dynamically, good luck scripting :-)
Put short: Yes, it's normal. Can it be fixed? Hairy. But with enough scripting and talent, perhaps not impossible.
