Correct. This is by design.
I have removed Pulseaudio from my main machine now again.

I can have Amarok playback music, while I work on my company´s
user session and that was all I wanted and what Pulseaudio won´t give me
easily.

Tip, for you and others:
If you want to separate stuff for security reasons, you can use a VM with kvm -soundhw es1370. kvm supports pulse and will redirect all the sound of the VM to your pulse server. Just set, under the kvm-starting user, ~/.pulse/client.conf with default-server = ..., and enable the pulse networking on the server, and you'll hear the Windows-Login-Sound from your pulse. The VM guest doesn't need to know about pulse. I find that awesome.

For the pulse people:
Please don't tell people that the problems they run into are by design. You'll have people running away, or even have quite negative feelings about pulse. Rather, fix the limitations, please.

Ben
