This is basically PulseAudio system-wide mode: https://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/Software/PulseAudio/Documentation/User/SystemWide/ https://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/Software/PulseAudio/Documentation/User/WhatIsWrongWithSystemWide/ ... except worse, because instead of potentially being able to escalate privileges to a dedicated system uid that runs the PulseAudio system server, you can potentially escalate privileges to the account of another user. I would suggest using the system-wide mode instead: it's a bad idea for all the reasons listed in the link above, but seems less bad than reinventing it via a user's account. smcv
