Easy enough: dmix is set by standard as of ALSA 1.0.9rc2 [1] but getfacl shows that only one of my users is added to the ACL list for device files in /dev/snd. Whyever... So its going to be the good old way around: I added both users to group audio. I removed them from there for the perfect pulseaudio setup. Now I get simultaneous audio on both sessions without a glitch. And frankly I don?t care whether thats by design or not. I even don?t care about the recording issue for these two users, cause they are both mine. A mailing list reader suggested a VM for the second user, but all I just want is two KDE sessions with audio simultaneously and now I just got want I wanted. Why use a VM when its not needed? I still hope that Pulseaudio can give me this by a simple configuration option one time. I stand by it that this is a perfectly valid setup and do not want to dictacted to organize my stuff differently by software or design.
