How can I set things up so that a sound alert/notification will play regardless of whether the user who is running the app trying to play the alert is on the tty?

Basically, user A is running an app that may send an audio alert. When it does, I want to hear that alert even though I've switched over to using the user B account. The idea is that, at that point, I can go back to the user A account and deal with the alert.

I don't need this to be very fine grained since it's still a machine that is only ever used by me. If it's easier I'd just like to run pipewire in such a way that the sounds from all users are always played regardless of which user is currently using the console.

If it matters, I'm using KDE.
