I definitely think it's ownership related. The problem is somewhere between pam and udev, but i think it's more likely pam. I experienced a very similar (if not the same) issue some time ago. When you start xdm, it starts as root, and somehow, something sets very restrictive (600) permissions on the sound devices. So, as pointed out before, play around with pam and fix the permissions (i think that there is a howto for this in the forums).

If it's ownership-related, I had a similar problem, solved it by
adding myself to the "audio" group, and changing the <sound> entry in
/etc/security/console.perms so that it reads:

<console>  0660 <sound>      0660 root.audio

(notice the 0660, default is 0600).
