I have a firefox template T-ffox with audio support via pulseaudio-qubes.
Some of the VMs using this template have an audiovm defined qvm-prefs myvm audiovm 'sys-audio', which works fine.
However I don’t want all my firefox VMs to have audio, so by default audiovm is set to ''.
(see Audio qube :
There is a maximum of ~19 qubes that can be running simultaneously without using audio (but with a audiovm configured).
Issue: For VMs that have audiovm set to '', whenever starting an application, there is a very long delay (~60s) before the GUI pops up. If I set audiovm to sys-audio instead, the delay diseappears. I suppose the VM is stuck looking for an audio sink ?
Question: Is there a way to bypass this delay without making a separate template that doesn’t install pulseaudio-qubes ?
Thank you.
Note: simply disabling service.PulseAudio does not work.
