Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/netblue30/firejail/issues/571

Currently there is a check in firejail/pulseaudio.c whether /etc/pulse/client.conf is a symbolic link (see https://github.com/netblue30/firejail/blob/master/src/firejail/pulseaudio.c#L107).

This breaks support for pulseaudio in firejail in NixOS (as client.conf is always symbolic link there).

It seems that removing this check fixes the problem (and pulseaudio works in firejail).

Is there any reason to keep it?

You are right, there shouldn't be any reason for symlink checking there. I put a fix in git. Thanks for the bug.
