Why isn't my sound card recognized today?

My sound card was working fine until yesterday. Now I get this when I open winecfg.
Any ideas? Guesses? Suggestions?

ALSA lib seq_hw.c:457:(snd_seq_hw_open) open /dev/snd/seq failed: Permission denied

You are probably not in the audio group?

Egad! So I was not. And I never would have guessed.
Today's Jaunty Studio updates had re-set the audio group permissions.
