Is ALSA a prerequisite for this to work? Is there something else I'm missing?
I regularly run other docker containers on this system.

I was able to get around this by following the steps in https://github.com/sickcodes/Docker-OSX/issues/7#issuecomment-639356240 on my host.
ALSA is not related and happens to everyone, according to README. The real error is the last line, "gtk initialization failed," which is most likely about how you set up your display. Please provide your docker command for further troubleshoot. you should also check if you're using wayland or X.
There're many issues about X already. i'm using Wayland, and one important thing is /run/user/{UID} has been given enough permission.

and now it no longer shows the ALSA-related errors, but still exits, whether run with sudo or not.
