When you login as one person, and use a pulse audio daemon, if another
user is logged in at the same time as you, that other person can not use
(or see at all) a pulse daemon, I think even sound icon (speaker) is not
available.
It is possible that this is the similar thing, that when one person is
using it, no other can access it.
