The same can be said for pulseaudio. You may have several users running pulseaudio, but when you are in a 
root terminal, running pulseaudio -k only kills the root pulseaudio session, if there is one. If you want to 
kill other pulse processes of other users, you need to use the appropriate kill command.

I agree, this is the way it should stay.
