The audio group isn't used on FC5. When a user logs in, the instructions in /etc/security/console.perms.d/50-default.perms arrange for the files in /dev/snd (among others) to have their ownership changed. If, as a normal user, you do "ls -l /dev/snd" and you see all the files owned by someone else then it's almost certain that the other user logged in before you and _is still logged in_. This happens to me from time to time when I log in as root on a console and forget to log out before I log in as myself on a graphical console.
