I don't think fast-user-switching as described above is really 
multi-seat.  For true multi-seat, yes, of course each seat would have 
its own audio.  For a single-seat, fast-user-switching scenario, there 
needs to be a way to revoke audio from the first session when a new 
user logs into a second session, or when users toggles between 
different sessions.  Otherwise there is a privacy problem where user A 
could run a program that records the Mic input of the soundcard, user 
B activates their session, and user A can record all sounds that user 
B makes.
