Hey,
I have a multiseat setup all, soundcards are moved to seat1, except for
one Logitech USB Speaker.
Nevertheless, Pulseaudio on seat0 show all soundcards from both seats
Is this a Debian or an upstream bug?
PulseAudio doesn't know anything about seats, but that doesn't
necessarily make this a PulseAudio bug. This can also be a bug in Debian
or ConsoleKit/logind (I don't know which one Debian is nowadays using).
On a single-seat system ConsoleKit/logind should set audio device
(/dev/snd/*) permissions so that only the "currently active" user has
access to the devices. It should be possible to extend this logic to
multi-seat systems as well, and I wouldn't be surprised if
ConsoleKit/logind already support this.
I don't know about the current situation, but I believe at least in the
past Debian used to add users automatically to the "audio" group, which
overrides any fancy logic that ConsoleKit/logind tries to implement.
Users in the "audio" group always have access to all devices. Make sure
you are not in the "audio" group.

Removing me from the audio group did the trick. The Debian installer added
me
to that group. I think I will contact the Debian Installer Maintainers to
ask
them to remove the auto-add-to-audio group.
Thanks Tanu,
