I'm not sure, if it is bug or I just can't figure out what the heck they need, but it is no sound in apps, using profiles private-bin (like slack, or if I write custom one for, say, TelegramDesktop).
It is pulseaudio installed and active on the system, if any (although, I guess, I'd hear them anyway, if they'll try to play sound through alsa things).

I tried to firejail --trace appname 2>&1 | grep /bin and strace appname 2>&1 | grep /bin, but have no success: they only calls themselves.

Have you any idea what can they want to be in private-bin to have sound? Or how private-bin collide with sound support at all...

self-answer: they all want pulseaudio binary to present in private-bin... Although, none of them calls it, they do want it anyway!
