[pulseaudio-discuss] unable to remove sink or source suspension when switching desktop environment

[Oz Dror]

I changed the group id of audio in the container arch (92) to match the one
in ubuntu (29).
I put myself in the group audio of the guest container and the host. I
still have the same problem.
Is there any other way to avoid this suspension.
