Same problem, on all my computers, default configuration ubuntu 10.04. One would expect that it should be possible to switch user and still use audio out of the box.

Daniel, I did that, rebooted, and re-logged on. It did not help at all and made matters worse. The bug is not going away at all. I have to switch sound hardware every time I start any player (mplayer, vlc etc).

Daniel, sorry for wrong name. :) I did remove all users from group audio and rebooted. Unfortunately, it made things even worse. Now, every time I start mplayer, it starts muted. I have to change the "output configuration" to un-mute it.

[Bug 582630] Re: Switching user stops sound, can be restored by Sound Prefs/Hardware/Configuration
(Who is Steve?) In Ubuntu, group membership for audio is no longer necessary due to PulseAudio's use of udev acls via ConsoleKit. So: (1) yes, if a user has the active seat (e.g., you're at the keyboard), s/he can listen to audio; (2) no user should be in the audio group, because this overrides udev acls via ConsoleKit and causes headaches.

Could you clarify: 1) Can a user who is NOT in audio group, listen to audio? 2) Can I have one use only in audio group, and everyone using sound after fast user switching?
