FWIW, I tested this on 6-STABLE before I ported it and didn't have any problems running as a non privileged user, so the problem may disappear with the 6.3 release. I can't reproduce the problem, (all my boxen are 7.0 and above) so if anyone can track this down it would be appreciated. I hesitate to flag this for >7.0 and as the problem doesn't show up for everyone. This may need an entry in devfs.conf, but I'm not sure where to begin with that as other devices that use sound don't seem to have a problem.
