Without reading the article above the split could be done pretty easily 
via pulseaudio and module-remap-sink and setting the appropriate 
PULSE_SINK variable for each user at X11 login.

There is no security here tho' so the users would beable to spam each 
other's sinks, but that may not be a concern in your setup.
