My user user1 is running a graphical X session with pulse configured per-user.
I need to run a graphical program that uses audio with user2.
- If I do
su user2; program
program doesn't start and I get no audio neither video
- If I do gksu -u user2 program
the video is working, but I get no audio.
Why there are these problems? What is the right way to start a pulse application that outputs sound on the pulse of my user? What the right way to start an X/audio application from another session(for example an SSH shell)?
