[kde-linux] How do I set the default sound card?

[Anselmo]

Have you checked to have the correct permission on the device linked 
by /dev/soundcard ?

In my case all the sound device are 	rw-rw---- root audio /dev/audio 
(i've appended /dev/ just to be clear)
So i've to be in the group "audio" to be able to use it.
