Oh, no. You really don't want another user logged into your box over
ssh to listen to your microphone.

That works fine here on a SUSE 11.1 box.

I don't think it is related to the cdrom handling. Sounds like some
SUSE bug in the ACL handling, and this should probably be handled in
the SUSE bugzilla. Not sure though, how much attention it will get for
the 11.0 version, if the issue is not easy to find.
