title: run apps using audio in a docker container
body: <p>This question is inspired by <a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/16296753">Can you run GUI apps in a docker container?</a>.</p>
  
  <p>The basic idea is to run apps with audio and ui (vlc, firefox, skype, ...)</p>
  
  <p>I was searching for docker containers using pulseaudio but all containers I found where using pulseaudio streaming over tcp.
  (security sandboxing of the applications)</p>

  </ul>
  
  <p>In my case I would prefere playing audio from an app inside the container directly to my host pulseaudio. (without ssh tunneling and bloated docker images)</p>
  
  <p>Pulseaudio because my qt app is using it ;)</p>
