RetroArch sounds missing after installing XFCE

[kasra9400]

RetroArch sounds disappeared after installing XFCE. in retroarch Audio setting if you turn OFF audio and turn it ON again audio returns or you can use other sounds drivers (sdl2 driver works for me) to always have sounds. also, default Stock OS music player Audio is missing. I like to report issues to help this project progress ❤️

Maybe possibly reverting the pulse-audio stuff when existing the desktop might resolve the issue. I'll take a look at it when I get the chance.

Sometimes re-entry the XFCE, the pulse-audio didn't work normally.

I've modified the setup scripts to switch retroarch to SDL2 by default during installation, but the embedded media player appears to be having problems. Its trying to use pulse by default since its installed, which isn't working due to some missing library
