That might work but I wouldn't say it was the best solution.  Using
alternate user-ids is really a great idea because you can use it to
isolate your network activities from your real data, giving you more
protection against brower and Flash bugs.

I would look for a way to set group permissions on the audio and put
both user-ids in that group.
