More details about this approach can be found via: (for example)
<http://billauer.co.il/blog/2014/01/pa-multiple-users/>
You can also run Pulseaudio in 'system mode' - see:
<http://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/Software/PulseAudio/Documentation/User/SystemWide/>
I haven't tried either of these approaches
You can also by-pass Pulseaudio and use ALSA directly by modifying the
central ALSA config files (or overriding them via individual user
configs) - I've done this for a single user on a workstation - but not
for multiple users, but I guess with the correct dev perms this should
work as well
