Using "Switch user". I usually lock my desktop with some programs running, and if my wife needs to do something, she just starts a new session without affecting my stuff. But then there was no sound. I had figured out this permission problem (not your solution though), so I have prepared a small script in Autostart to change the permissions back, but it does not made KDE sounds to work. But it helped with XMMS and Skype.
When you use switch user you are logging in on :1, and by default resmgr is only set to give permissions on :0 Have a look at /etc/resmgr.conf. Look for the line allow desktop tty=/dev/tty[1-9]* || tty=tty[1-9]* || tty=:0 and add || tty=:1 at the end and restart resmgr Or perhaps better still (untested) change the last part to tty=:[0-9] that *should* give you resmgr permissions on multiple graphical logins
