PulseAudio in its native configuration restricts sound to the first
user to log in, as a security measure.

There is a way to use pulseauido as a system server, but as I
understand it there are flaws or issues.  One, I think, is that
everyone hears everything from everyone else.  If there is only one
device on the system, and two people want to play different music
through it, they will both play at the same time.  Probably not what
you want.

I suggest you ask this question on the pulseaudio mailing list as
the pulseaudio maintainers are regulars there.
