Yes and no. In past this happend to several sound cards too, root cause
was that kernel /sys structure had changed, the HAL was not able to find
the hardware, and the sound devices were not set correctly. CosoleKit
takes the info from HAL, which is not aware of the card and does not set
the permissions. Quick try: lshal | grep alsa
