[lug] access to audio from non-desktop login

[Michael J. Hammel]

At work I have a secondary userid I've set up that can open windows on
the desktop for my primary userid.  I open a Firefox browser from that
user that is configured to use a local proxy that is tunneled through to
my home.  From that browser I can access my web servers at home via the
tunnel.  In this way I have two browsers running - one that uses a proxy
(for secondary userid) and one that doesn't (for primary userid).

However, the secondary userid browser is not run from the desktop userid
so it can't play audio.  Is there a way to enable a non-desktop login to
access the audio at the same time as the desktop login under Fedora 9?
If I can enable audio then I can access my music and video collections
at home via mythweb.

FYI - I know streaming through the tunnel works since I can access the
collections in my primary userid browser if I change it to use the
proxy.  So the only problem is enabling audio for the secondary userid
so I don't have to switch proxy configurations repeatedly.
