I don't use Fedora, so you may have to see this info
is appropriate in your case. I use a variation of
Debian.
I use "group" command to see what groups I belong to.
I see "audio" as one of such groups.
Then I do
ls -altr /dev | grep audio
Here are what I get:
crw-rw---- 1 root audio 10, 135 2008-04-29 09:38
rtc
crw-rw---- 1 root audio 14, 1 2008-04-29 09:38
sequencer
crw-rw---- 1 root audio 14, 8 2008-04-29 09:38

crw-rw---- 1 root audio 14, 12 2008-04-29 09:38

You may have to check who owns such devices under
/dev/ directory, and add that user to the the group
which has "rw" (read and write) access to those
devices.
I also use realtime kernel for better midi/audio
timing, and in the file /etc/security/limits.conf I
have these:
@audio - rtprio 99
[EMAIL PROTECTED] - nice 10
@audio - nice -10
@audio - memlock 250000
as well as in the file /etc/sysctl.conf I have
dev.rtc.max-user-freq=1024
dev.hpet.max-user-freq=1024
I haev also tried 2048 instead of 1024 for those timer
frequency valies in /etc/sysctl.conf.
Hope it helps.
