There should be some info kicking around about system mode PA if you

I don't have much success with getting audio for two users with pulseaudio.
I start pulsaudio as root with these options:
# pulseaudio --log-target=syslog --system -D --disallow-exit
And get this info in syslog; both users only have "dummy audio". So it's even
worse this way.

Nov 25 19:23:40 dom pulseaudio[21013]: main.c: OK, so you are running PA in
system mode. Please note that you most likely shouldn't be doing that.
Nov 25 19:23:40 dom pulseaudio[21013]: main.c: If you do it nonetheless then
it's your own fault if things don't work as expected.
Nov 25 19:23:40 dom pulseaudio[21013]: main.c: Please read
http://pulseaudio.org/wiki/WhatIsWrongWithSystemMode for an explanation why
system mode is usually a bad idea.

deprecated: Please use module-udev-detect instead of module-hal-detect!

org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.AccessDenied: Connection ":1.122" is not allowed to own the

This is typically a permissions problem. Does the "pulse" user (which
IIRC is used by system mode) have permissions to open the sound devices?
