I have an app which needs to keep playing to a device even when switching between users with fast user switching. At present it keeps playing in that it doesn’t pause but the device goes silent regardless of the volume and mute settings, the only audio the device will play is that of the new user.

Is there a property which can be set on the device or globally to allow the app to keep playing audio regardless of the user logged in? The kAudioHardwarePropertyUserSessionIsActiveOrHeadless property has been investigated but is a read-only property rather than a way to allow an app to detach from being associated with a user (i.e. headless).
