'Twas brillig, and Tomasz Chmielewski at 21/11/09 21:18 did gyre and gimble:
I have a multiseat workstation - two graphics cards, two keyboards/mice, two monitors, but one audio card.

Before pulseaudio was mainstream, I was using ALSA, and both users could use audio.

This isn't really something supported by the default and recommended PA setup.

To achieve what you want you need to stop running a separate PA for each user and instead one system-wide version (see the --system) argument.

You then need to add each user to the pulse-access group to ensure they are allowed to talk to the PA process.

This isn't really recommended as the users will be able to see each others streams which is a privacy issue, but it may not matter too much.
