After fine tuning the /lib/udev/rules.d/70-acl.rules file on my Debian Squeeze/testing according to the bug report filed against udev, http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=593881, things work brilliantly regarding user swithcing with KDE, and also swithcing to and from pure console logins, at least as far as I have tested it. My setup is using the setting in the wiki for "The Perfect Setup" on PA home pages, playing ALSA through PulseAudio. Sounds play as they should, and only sound from the current active TTY is audible. Now for accessibiblity: My setup worked for using several "aplay xxx.wav" simultaneously, both from inside "screen" sessions/subshells in a Linux console session, as well on different tty's, as long as the TTY's were owned by the same user. I do not know if my card is set up for hardware or software mixing. How do I check for this? Conclusion: The winner is PulseAudio. Possibly coupled with dmix in the right manner? ;)Frode PS: I am informed that the newest GDM incarnation might mess things up a bit. GDM is not keeping a close eye on bacwards compatibility and the API is totally revamped. Many things, such as user switching and .Xauthority are broken or defunct in strange ways.
