So what is the solution where you want to use audio on a headless box? 
Or your X session (if you have one) is remote but the audio output 
connected to the speakers for the room is local?  Or you want music to 
keep playing when the local X user changes?  (Macs get this wrong too, 
but at least they have the excuse that they are trying to sell you a 
separate device that you can dedicate to audio if you actually want to 
listen to an uninterrupted song).
