Do you have the pulseaudio server installed in the container? I think you 
shouldn't, so that the client inside the container connects to the server 
in the host.

Otherwise, what you need it to make the pulseaudio server in the 
container talk to the server in the host, and for that you should not 
bind /dev/snd nor /run/user/1000/pulse

I don't think this is appropriate. There should be no sound card on the 
container.

Won't this get hidden by the tmpfs in /run/user ?

Maybe the better option is to load the tcp pulseaudio module, allow 
connections from the container ip, and inject PULSE_SERVER envvar into 
the container.
