I can confirm this bug happens on a new Karmic install.  I do "Switch
User..." and log in as another user, and that user gets no access to the
sound card.  The device is not listed by System/Prefereces/Sound.

I have a similar related problem I want to solve.  Blind users run
speakup, which starts as soon as the speakup_soft module is loaded.
Speakup starts pulseaudio as user speech-dispatcher, which grabs the
sound card, making it unavailable to any user logging into gnome.  This
really sucks for blind users.
