sound in Debian

[jtannenba]

Hi Hans,

Actually, part of the problem was (blush)
I was using the CD drive without the internal
cable.  I had to relink dev/cdrom to the correct
drive for audio.  Now only midi doesn't work
and the sound events in Gnome doesn't work. The 
perms are also wrong somewhere.  Only root can
play CD's.
