Describe the Bug

Issue is as described. If I run Sunshine as user, Moonlight recognized but webhost gives incorrect PIN error. If I run as root, can connect and stream, but access to pulseaudio is denied and audio will not stream.

Expected Behavior

Running sunshine as user allows connection to webhost via moonlight, and that running as root allows audio streaming.

Pairing issue was due to System Tray Icon on KDE Plasma, disabling system tray icon allows the devices to pair as expected.
