PulseAudio doesn't know anything about seats, but that doesn't necessarily make this a PulseAudio bug. This can also be a bug in Debian or ConsoleKit/logind (I don't know which one Debian is nowadays using). On a single-seat system ConsoleKit/logind should set audio device (/dev/snd/*) permissions so that only the "currently active" user has access to the devices. It should be possible to extend this logic to multi-seat systems as well, and I wouldn't be surprised if ConsoleKit/logind already support this. I don't know about the current situation, but I believe at least in the past Debian used to add users automatically to the "audio" group, which overrides any fancy logic that ConsoleKit/logind tries to implement. Users in the "audio" group always have access to all devices. Make sure you are not in the "audio" group. -- Tanu
