Your host and guest might be fighting for the same physical sound
devices. My guess is you use a custom setup which allows the guest to
takeover host's device (since it can run on vt8, and have devices
shown on "aplay -l"). My test was on defaut ubuntu container,
restricted by apparmor.

You might be able to reconfigure alsa dan pulseaudio on the container
so alsa ONLY uses pulseaudio driver, and pulseaudio ONLY uses the tcp
module.
