Comment (by szpak):

 PulseAudio and user switching is new for me (I've recently updated to
 Fedora 8 from FC5). Muting sound when user is switched looks reasonable.

 To watch movies on TV I used to do following use case.

 1. Login to UserA (in fact it's the only user I use) - X-server on :0 is
 active.
 2. Start (from terminal) another X-server session (as a UserA) with
 mplayer on it:
 xinit <real script calling mplayer on display :1> $@ -- /usr/bin/X -layout
 tv :1
  - X-server on :1 (tv) become active (X-server on :0 (monitor) became
 inactive), mplayer starts, but it's unable to play sound

 It's not user switching. Only primary X-server become inactive (like with
 CTRL-ALT-F1).

 An application is started from the second X-server, so sounds from the
 first X-server could be even muted. It would be enough to allow
 applications from the second X-server play sound (when it's active). Maybe
 it's possible to configure PulseAudio to do that?
