As a way to "hack" it for the time being, this may work for you.

This will only work if the same two users always login on the same seat?
e.g. Bob always sits at seat one and Mary always sits at seat two.

If that works, you can disable the udev rule that writes ACLs on the
sound nodes and instead write a static rule that makes the specific
device nodes owned by the specific users.

Once the above bugs are fixed, you can remove this hack and define the
seat properly :)
