Bug Description
I run my "work" VMs and in Xubuntu pulse audio often does not start. In this dump I tried to start music through Firefox and through my media player quodlibet and none of the audio starts.
See attachment with the pulseaudio volume control and quodlibet stuck on time 0:00 like Firefox.
I do not have the problem with plain Ubuntu, Ubuntu Mate nor with Ubuntu Studio.
The problem is annoying, because I use Xubuntu for office and communication like Email and the WhatsApp/
