Hello @tsugu-sk!

Given the snap’s functionality, both requests make sense to me, so +1 (#voteFor) one from my side for auto-connecting alsa and joystick interfaces to the guac-tsugu snap.

Hey folks,

Joystick sounds reasonable to me, but I’m not sure about alsa interface. audio-playback should suffice your use case and, because of how alsa works, it may block other applications from recording or playing sound. Could you please share what errors / denials you find when running your application with audio-playback interface rather than alsa.

Thanks
