 Replying to [comment:2 dsd]:
 > Fedora's configuration for these nodes was removed because "most devices
 are handled by hal now": https://fedorahosted.org/pam-
 redhat/changeset/297%3Ab4b641df0611

 HAL (+ PolicyKit) does this in a pretty intelligent way: when a user logs
 in it applies a set of ACLs to device nodes. So all sound nodes remain
 owned by root:root but an ACL is added for each user session that allows
 each user to access the relevant nodes.

 This is perhaps a bit heavyweight for the XO (single user system) and also
 ACLs on JFFS2 are disabled in our kernel. Even when enabled, they don't
 seem to be working. And I guess this system might not play nice with
 rainbow.

 One easy way of solving this is to fix up the pam_console rules to include
 the <sound> definition again. I have confirmed this is also suitable for
 the update1 systems (i.e. pam_console does not choke on a duplicate
 definition of <sound>). Michael, any thoughts?
