Thank you, that sounds right. But...

I have added the "nobody" id and the "apache" id to the group "audio" which owns /dev/audio (which is a link to /dev/sound/audio, which is owned by root.) But it seems to make no difference.

I can play my script from the command line, either locally or through ssh, but not through a web form. (useless web form below).

mplayer is running, I can see the feedback on the web browser, but no sound. 

<html>
        <head>
                <title>
                        Test file
                </title>
        </head>
        <body>
                <h1>Test file</h1>
                <p>test data
                <form action="/cgi-bin/PlayPod.pl">
                        <input type="submit" value="play pod">
                </form>

        </body>
</html>
