This is typically a permissions problem. Does the "pulse" user (which

All right, this was it!
I wish pulsaudio with multiple users was more straightforward one day.
Well it is rather simple with multiple users... just not at the same time!
The multi-seat setup is still rather niche compared to the multi-user
setup (e.g. OSX+Windows do the same multi-user stuff we enable OOTB too).
Even on multi-seat systems, most of the time each seat has it's own
dedicated device (e.g. USB speakers) or similar. This is being dealt
with and will be supported with a standard pulse install reasonably soon
(whenever the consolekit/udev support is there basically).
So really, we're not too bad for the 99% percent of use cases :p
