Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/netblue30/firejail/issues/4361

When using firejail, firefox can't play audio through sndio (an alternative to pulseaudio) because it requires access to $HOME/.sndio/cookie and access to semtimedop syscall (not allowed by seccomp in the latest profile).

Sandbox: seccomp sandbox violation: pid 346, tid 521, syscall 220, args 98337 140394627065644 2 0 140394983969900 140394344206992.
