Seconded!

There's a way of doing something like that, to restart the daemon
started per user, but I never remember the magic incantation.  I always
have to google it.

Alternatively, don't use pulseaudio the way Fedora does.  Don't start a
personal daemon with each user's session.  Start one central server, and
twiddle Fedora to make use of it.

I don't recall the details of how to do that, but it seems familiar that
you'd be adding your users to a pulseaudio group.
