PS2. Disabling 'Use audio device' removes the user from audio group. And since /dev/dsp is acl controlled, access to it is granted to the user which currently uses the display. I guess that the ACL magic is done by policykit/udev - but i'm not sure though.

So, to enable sound switching with user switching, just remove your users from audio group.
