Bug#405060: vdr should be member of audio group

Package: vdr
Version: 1.4.4-1
Severity: wishlist

Hello,

I had a problem concerning the softdevice plugin
[ http://www.vdr-wiki.de/wiki/index.php/Softdevice-plugin ]

While trying to start vdr as daemon from the startup script /etc/init.d/vdr,
vdr couldn't access the audio device because user vdr doesn't belongs
to group audio by default.
(The error message from the vdr-softdevice plugin is missleading because it
says device doesn't exists.)
Manually adding vdr to goup audio solves the problem.
Please add vdr to this group by installation scripts.


Greetings
	Juergen
