Imagine. You have a computer at home. Like any well behaved Unix computer,
it stays on 24 hours a day, with a SSH server. Sometimes, your little
brother comes to visit, and you have created him an account; since he likes
to play with ScummVM, you have put him in the audio group.
Well, your little brother likes practical jokes: one night, at 3 in the
morning, he just does "ssh your.computer mplayer /some/loud/music.mp3".
