Yeah, I think Gentoo uses udev to accomplish this, but since my wife
and I are both logged in on different virtual consoles basically all
the time on my laptop, and we both want sound to work, I have to use
the static groups approach.

No-one can ssh into my laptop (as far as I know ;), so I don't have to
worry about remote users pwning my audio hardware.

But you make a good point, and I had not thought about that particular
shortcoming.
