No sound on PulseAudio

PulseAudio on Fedora 9

Fedora 9 (Fedora core 9) (a Red Hat sponsored Linux distribution) features PulseAudio 0.9.10 and realtime audio. Average users should not need to use realtime audio, but after a default install, there was no sound for non-root users.

The pulse-rt group

The recommended solution is to add the user's user ID to the pulse-rt group. This is unsatisfactory if you know that you are going to add several user IDs later on, and since all users are part of the "users" group, we simply changed the GID for pulse-rt group to be the same as the "users" group (100 on our systems).

It has solved the problem, all the users who are able to login have full access to the sound subsystem, and it has not created any problem yet.
