pipewire for multiple users

I used to have local port for second user on my PC. But since pipewire update 1.2 that stopped working.

There are 2 users, user1 and user2. The "main" user is the first one. I have one pair of speakers connected to PC. I'd like to be able to play sound as user1 and user2 simultaneously. It means that pipewire deamons for both users must be running.

What is the correct way to achieve this?

Re: pipewire for multiple users

AFAIA the general recommendation is to enable PW and WP as user. So each of users should start its own services and the sink of each service should point to the desired sink.
How did you run it before?
