Or you selected the "wrong" filesystem (ReiserFS) and never migrated ...

Stupid question aside - does (and how) work console-kit for daemons with  
restricted permissions?
(or for me when i just login to VT1 and fire some mplayer)
I mean, because running ck-launch-session will likely not do in this case,  
will it?

In any case two applications try to open /dev/dsp directly or what?
(I've never had any kind of audio issues with different users and just  
tested to fire two mplayer instances from different accounts at the same  
time - no problem and i thought this was entirely gone with alsa??!)
