Hello! I have a server with 3 VMs that I want to have sound-enabled. In particular I wanted the VM running my music server to start on boot, and with sound enabled. The audio part of that solution evaded me until I found your post. I i implemented it as described, except for using a different account, and it works beautifully.
Thanks!
As im trying to do something with this there is a problem with "8 NOT NEEDED: Assure that pulseaudio socket is accessible by any user" it looks like /run/user/1041/pulse is 700 it is restored after daemon restart.
To ensure systemd knows when PulseAudio has finished starting, you can use Type=dbus. This is necessary if you need to start other services that depend on PulseAudio (for example receivers for streaming audio).
