Hi

How to play sound as a different user in GNOME?

I have a habit of running web browser as a separate user, so that
running all those malicious programs from the Web is safer. But from
time to time I need to decode Flash content. Video is OK but I have no
sound.

I tried Rhythmbox --- same here.

Did you add that user to the group 'audio'?
