Good evening,
Could someone please point me to the correct resources regarding proper setup of the various sound devices (/dev/cdrom, /dev/mixer, etc...) and multiple X servers/sessions? I realize this is not the proper group, but I have been searching google, the XFree86 website, ALSA website, newsgroups, etc... and anywhere else I can think of on and off for a few months now. I'm currently running FedoraCore on an ASUS A7N8X Deluxe motherboard, but I don't really think the particular hardware or version of Linux is the problem. I hope it's just a missed configuration issue. Each of these devices seems to only be available to the first X session to logon. I've bypassed this restriction for CD Audio by creating device files for all 4 users of this machines, and then configuring their preferred cd-player app to poing at their device file. It works fine. Any logged-in user can now play cd's.

My problem now is /dev/mixer, I think. Only the first logged-in user gets any system sounds.
Before I go further, am I missing something obvious?
