[mythtv-users] Myth Permissions, sound and auto login

[Nick Ellson]

audio group <thwap> could it be that obvious? <sigh> After all, if ivtv 
wanted my user in "video" why not audio.. Thanks for that! :)

I loaded gnome partly because I like it, partly because I didn't know what 
else to do. :)

I'll try the Auto Start in the sessions tab, but may just lean this system 
out, I kinda like that approach.

Found several Wiki's on mingetty and Myth already.
