This is by design, however if you are logged into an X session and a
console session as the same user, you should be hearing audio from both
sessions. To be clear, if you are playing music in X, and you switch to
a console where you have not logged in, the music pauses. This is
because the audio system currently doesn't have permission to access the
audio hardware at the console login prompt. Once you log in, permission
should be granted to the audio hardware again, and the music should
continue to play. This works the other way, as when you are playing
audio in the console, you will noly hear it in X if you are logged into
your session.
If this is not working as explained above, please make sure your user
and any other users of the system are not in the audio group. To check,
open a console/terminal and run "groups", to get a listing of the groups
your user is in.
Hope this helps.
