OK, but that's really an unrealistic case now.
No I meant two users on the system. Only one uses the machine at any given time. My point was mainly that the control over whether the sounds from the underlying services (be it mpd or some accessibility layer) should be user choice, not forced upon them. i.e. it is up to any given user (the two real user's in the example and the pseudo-user who controls the login screen - in the case of gdm, it's a user called gdm). mpd as a daemon shouldn't be forced upon any user, it should be up to each user to run some kind of agent that connects to mpd and does the actual playback. Architecturally this is IMO the more sensible design, for both mpd scenario and the accessibility scenario. Hope that clarifies things.
