I'm trying to get sound from applications running from other users bug the one who owns the current GNOME sessions.

Typically, my default user is "A" and he's running the GNOME session, logged in graphically. From this session, I open terminals, su to other users (B or C, non-root) and run mplayer or firefox. No sound for these.

Adding those users to the "audio" group didn't help. Any idea how to do this?

Thanks, that did help.

I copied /usr/bin/start-pulseaudio-x11 to /usr/bin/start-pulseaudio-x11-system, and in this file, replaced --start with -system.

Added $MYUSERNAMEHERE ALL=NOPASSWD:/usr/bin/start-pulseaudio-x11-system to /etc/sudoers and modified the startup applications in GNOME prefs to `sudo /usr/bin/start-pulseaudio-x11-system` instead of `/usr/bin/start-pulseaudio-x11`. Restarted computer, works.

Thanks to everyone else too, for your valuable help!

Regards,
