Much like MacOS does it. The idea is that speakers are IO devices much like the screen, keyboard, and mice. I do believe that the normal case is that when you switch sessions, you don't want to allow the inactive session to record data from you microphone anymore or interfere with your audio in otherwise. I know that some people want to continue playback when they switch to a different session. However, I do not believe that this should be the default. Maybe we will add support for this in a later version somehow, but I do believe the right approach is to make sure that inactive sessions cannot spy on the user who's active on the seat.
