This isn't really something supported by the default and recommended PA setup. To achieve what you want you need to stop running a separate PA for each user and instead one system-wide version (see the --system) argument. You then need to add each user to the pulse-access group to ensure they are allowed to talk to the PA process. This isn't really recommended as the users will be able to see each others streams which is a privacy issue, but it may not matter too much.
