Multiseat seems to no longer function on nVidia nonfree, and possibly other drivers.
Foobar can only find direct audio devices which it can directly hijack exclusively for it’s self, freezing anything else trying to access that output.
Both of these are regressions during 2021, likely recent 2021. I don’t remember what the last working config was, but I was up to date in late 2020 and had everything working fine. Now I can’t even run older nvidia drivers, and finding the right packages to downgrade is also proving difficult; running Wine 5.9 did not help.
Linux Mint, with direct home directory copy allows Foobar to work correctly, but copying the same working home directory back to the latest Manjaro XFCE, it’s still broken in the exact same way.
A completely different wineprefix also didn’t work at all.
Deleting the default wineprefix and starting fresh also made no impact.
Completely reinstalling Foobar also doesn’t help.
Mint did not fix multiseat at all, however, so I’m guessing it’s novideo nonfree.

output from running foobar via terminal.
after reinstalling mint, I’ve realized that I’m using 450 on that, and 460 doesn’t work at all.
nvidia nonfree 460 drivers may also be responsible for audio problems in foobar, multiseat might be unrelated to driver 460 in arch.
