Hi Roman,
you need to share your sndio session cookie between the two users. I
got it working previously (the same problem arises with mpd, where the
daemon runs as a separate user). There should be a file called
`~/.aucat_cookie` in your home-dir, and if i remember correctly, you
just need to copy this file to the second users home dir. Will check
later when i'm back at home.
From sndio(7):
AUTHENTICATION
If a shared sndiod(8) server is running, for privacy reasons only one
user may have connections to it at a given time (though the same user
could have multiple connections to it). Users are identified by their
session cookie, which is automatically generated by audio or MIDI
applications upon the first connection to the server. The cookie is
stored in $HOME/.aucat_cookie and contains 128 bits of raw random
data.
If a session needs to be shared between multiple users, they can
connect to the server using the same cookie.
Hope that helps
Nils
