I followed your steps, and yes, pa commands function when freeswitch is run from the command line. Nice! I tried running it as both root and as user tom. Both times I was able to use the pa commands with success. I tried running user tom group user from the systemd startup and was not successful using pa commands. The question becomes, why does this not work using the freeswitch.service configuration file supplied with the packaged freeswitch? I installed freeswitch-meta-all.

This is not true. I am running freeswitch as the user I am logged in.
as root: chown -R tamer:users /opt/freeswitch
as user: /opt/freeswitch/bin/freeswitch -nc
as user: fs_cli -r
and you will see portaudio runs without any problems.
I have it in combination with pulseaudio running.

I do not have pulse audio installed.
I can access alsamixer and aplay from the shell while logged in as either root or freeswitch without issues.
mod_portaudio only works WHEN I'm running freeswitch under group root, which I will not be able to do in a production environment.

I tell you exactly why.
That is less a permission issue.
if you open the shell as "root" and type alsamixer you won't be capable to access the soundcard because "root" is not in the 1st) sound group and 2nd) root ha no access to the pulseaudio server
This is why I MUST run freeswitch as the user that is currently logged in.
mod_alsa doesn't work at all. I didn't get it running, only mod_portaudio....
