This is probably not a gdmflexiserver problem, it is most likely an
issue with the permissions on the sound devices. Normally, the first
user to log into X will get ownership of those devices via pam. When a
2nd user logs in simultaneously, ownership doesn't change. If you want
multiple users to have control over the sound devices, you'll have to
modify the permissions appropriately
(see /etc/security/console.perms.d/50-default.perms).
