Description

Without PulseAudio, sound does not work at all from any driver. On a non-flatpak installation, alsa and other drivers work fine on an ALSA-only installation.

When the ASLA output device is not set (I imagine flatpak tries to use pulse to discover the default device):
```
ALSA lib ../../pulse/pulse.c:242:(pulse_connect) PulseAudio: Unable to connect: Connection refused
```
Upon setting the output device:
```
ALSA lib ../../src/dlmisc.c:170:(snd_dlsym_verify) unable to verify version for symbol _snd_pcm_empty_open
ALSA lib ../../src/dlmisc.c:296:(snd1_dlobj_cache_get) symbol _snd_pcm_empty_open is not defined inside [builtin]
```

Is this a limitation of flatpak's sandbox? Or is it possible to make other RetroArch drivers work within flatpak?
