Hi.

The problem here is that the sound pluing (vm-sound-pulse) is in fact not linked agains the libpulse-simple.so. So says ldd and a quick glance a the code does not tell me why tho.

When the sound system is initialized, it apparently tries to dynload the vm-sound-pulse but since it has unresolved symbols, that fails.

However, using LD_PRELOAD, we force the libpulse-simple.so into the starting process, so that the dynload can actually succeed, as the missing symbols can already be found in the process. (LD_PRELOAD is present on al ELF-based systems, ie, Linux/BSD, Mach-O based use DYLD_INSERT_LIBRARIES, ie macOS).

The proper fix would be to ling vm-sound-pulse with -lpulse-simple somehow, but looking at the Make-includes/cmake files, I wonder why that's not the case in the first place.
