[pulseaudio-discuss] How to allow second user (logged in via sudo) to access sound?

Hello,

I use pulseaudio and with my primary user (which logs in directly to 
KDE) anything works well.

I use more than one user on my system. Sometimes, I just switch to one 
of the other users via "sudo".

Now I need some way to allow those users, which don't directly log in to 
the session, to access my soundcard.

What do I have to do on the "session side" and what do I have to start 
in my "sudo session"? Is it possible to get the two "sessions" connected 
somehow, so audio works for the "sudo-users"?

Thank you very much in advance

Yours

Manuel
