I didn't know that with 2 pulseaudio they won't be allowed to user the sound card at the same time. I reported the bug because this *used* to work (i.e. creating 2 pulseaudio). But, with that restriction, I'm fine doing it this way if this setup is supported =) Also, your assumption is correct. userB is only used within userA's login sessions. But, I tried those steps, and keeping the /etc/xdg/autostart/pulseaudio.desktop file and it doesn't work. I run firefox, or a an aplay command, and audio doesn't work. I did exactly those steps, when running (as userA): $ sudo -u userB -- aplay /usr/share/sounds/alsa/Front_Center.wav It fails with: ALSA lib pcm_dmix.c:1029:(snd_pcm_dmix_open) unable to open slave aplay: main:722: audio open error: No such file or directory Nothing new in syslog when I run this, so not sure what info do you need. Permissions on /run/user/1000/pulse/native are srwxrwxrwx+ (I also added the acl, just in case pulse, but nothing changed). I'm sorry this is probably not enough to debug, but what other info can I give you? Thanks a lot!
