Technically.. is it  PolicyKit or ConsoleKit doing the deactivation?
I always get confused as to which one of those is doing what.

Regardless, PolicyKit's authorization mechanisms both on the cmdline
and the gui should be usable to change how access control for the
streams work to widen the access scope to sound devices to any user at
the console and not just the active console..or even wider if desired.
