Yes. 

But only one daemon instance can access the audio HW at a time. But
since to awesome projects like HAL and CK PA will automatically be
notified when the active VT/session is switched. And the PA daemon
that becomes inactive closes the audio device and the one the becomes
active opens it.

Fast user switching is totally awesome hot stuff, if you ask me.
