Describe the Bug

I tried to run Sunshine as a non-root user, but something unexpected happened.
terminate called after throwing an instance of 'boost::wrapexcept<boost::property_tree::ptree_bad_path>' what(): No such node (root.devices)
When I use sudo, it works but I get a "Couldn't connect to pulseaudio: Access denied" issue.
I've tried changing the permissions of the relevant device files (e.g., /dev/dri/renderD128) and adding my user to the video group, but Sunshine still requires sudo to run properly.
