I'm sorry Michael, but I don't get the logic behind your words. User
'A' logs in a GNOME session, he has sound activated and working by
default. This is not a sufficient condition to get sound for
applications started by user 'B' or 'C' in a terminal, via `su` or
`sudo`.

Issue fixed anyway, as I reported earlier.
