Howdy. I'm trying to teach my (nearly-adult) son some things about Python and,
as sort of a side effect, about linux. We're using Fedora 11 on an x86_64
system. Of course I gave my son his own account on the system. He noticed
that he's getting no sound in his account, even though sound works fine in my
account. Note that I'm always the first person to login to this system after
it reboots, and I retain my session when my son logs in (via "Switch User").
I gather from browsing the web that this is a feature, not a bug. I.e., it
appears that the first one to login to a Fedora box after a reboot gets the
sound, and nobody else does, or at least not without some serious shenanigans
at the system-wide level. Can someone with more knowledge of the situation
confirm or deny this? If it IS the case that only one user gets sound, what
are the prospects for relaxing that constraint in Fedora 12?
As our focus with my son's sessions is mainly Python, and as I'm the primary
user of the system (hence, always have sound), this is not in any way a
critical issue. I'm just curious.
Thanks,
-- Mike
