Comment:

 Well, fixing one problem sometimes creates another. This is the case here.

 After removing all users from the "audio" group, the sound is following
 the active console session beautifully. But I am now unable to use my
 Logitech usb headset and the microphone on my Logitech usb webcam. This is
 sad, because the built-in microphone on my laptop is not very good...

 Here is a listing of the /dev/snd directory:

 As I understand, the problem is the lack of a + sign after the octals for
 the file permissions. Theese device nodes are only present when I plug in
 my headset and webcam, and are thus the nodes in use for this hardware,
 right?

 Now, how do I turn on ACL for devices using usb-snd-audio? I tried to
 search the Inernet, but I did not quite know which end to start in ...

 I tried reading some of the filesl in /etc/udev/rules.d. I suppose this is
 where the solution lies, but udev rules seems to have a steep learning
 curve.

 PS: I hope you don't mind me reopening the bug all the time.
