As root, if I disable mmap mode it works.
As a user (disabling mmap mode) it still does not work.
First, what is mmap mode and is disabling it ok?
Next, seems like a permission problem. What do I have the
change the permissions of to get xmms to work with an
ordinary user using Fedora 8?
Thanks
Richard

Since the last spate of updates, it is no longer possible to use any sound or
video* device as user, only as root. Changing the permission to 666 allows
users to use the devices. I saw that on the pulseaudio thread on
fedora-selinux-list.
I hope there will be a fix soon. In the meantime, I manually change the
permission of the device I need to use each time I boot the system. Sometimes
it's not easy to figure out what device you need, though, like with the tv
card or midi, for example.

are you using a custom built kernel, or one shipped with fedora 8?
uname -a please.

ditto, confirmed, me too, all that jazz.
Anyone bugzilla this yet? If so, got any pointers or references? I've got
one that's filed against kde, but I'm thinking this really has nothing to
do with kde (since I don't have audio in gnome either):

I finally filed a bug report. Thanks, Rex, for the suggestion.

Until properly fixed, the suggested workaround is:
rm -f /var/lib/hal/acl-list
/sbin/service haldaemon restart

It's probably worth mentioning that the permissions for sound and
video devices are now managed by ConsoleKit instead of the older
consolehelper. ConsoleKit uses acl's instead of mucking with the
standard unix perms. So you want to check the acl's of your devices
using the getfacl command. As an example, you should see something
like this for /dev/dsp:
Additionally, the ck-list-sessions command is very useful to determine
whether ConsoleKit considers your session to the active session. If
it doesn't, it won't add you to the acl list for sound, video, and
other devices that it manages.
Finally, one bug that could be the cause of this is:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=380031
Another possibility, if you're using updates-testing, is the
pilot-link-0.12.2-9 update (as suggested in bz#411321).
