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. -- PulseAudio and multiple users logged in at the same time https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/468358 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
