I was able to use aumix with my root login. But as a normal user, aumix says "error opening mixer"

Maybe it has something to do with the devices having only root permission? Even I have this problem. I cannot run mp3blaster (which I use only for volume control) as anything but root. For playing mp3's I use splay. 4 times faster on my machine. Even for that I changed the permission of /dev/dsp.

If you are using debian you have to add the normal user to group 'audio'.
