audio group membership

[Scott Leggett]

Hi,

While I was investigating #864829, I noticed that my user is a member of
the audio group. I checked, and this is also the case on a default
desktop installation:

  $ grep audio /etc/group
  audio:x:29:scott,pulse

According to the upstream pulseaudio wiki "Perfect Setup" page [0],
Debian falls into distro group 2, which means that no non-system users
should be members of the audio group.

Is there a bug here? Should the default desktop user be in the audio
group?

That wiki page also mentions ConsoleKit, so it's at least a little
outdated..
