[pulseaudio-discuss] only "dummy audio" available when many users want to use one audio card

I have a multiseat workstation - two graphics cards, two keyboards/mice, 
two monitors, but one audio card.

Before pulseaudio was mainstream, I was using ALSA, and both users could 
use audio.


Now, as my distribution started to use pulseaudio (0.9.20 since a few 
weeks), only one user can use audio.

The second user only has "dummy audio device" when starting pulseaudio.

How can I troubleshoot what is preventing the second user from using audio?
