Also of note, is multiseat configurations. This is very similar, but
slightly different. You have multiple users active *simultaneously*.

Me and my wife are now sharing a single desktop box, as it seemed to be
a better use of money to sink it all into a single decent-ish box rather
than two as-cheapass-as-possible boxes.

In this case, I want to assign separate sound cards to each seat, rather
than share one. (Actually, a neat trick would be to split up the cheezy
onboard 6 channel sound, four channels on one seat, two on the other.
Some asoundrc hacking might accomplish this...) As well as say "Anything
plugged into these two USB ports belongs to seat 1, these other two
belong to seat 2..." (Or even combine the two, and plug a USB audio
adapter into one seat, and have it "just work"...)
