      -e DISPLAY=$DISPLAY \ # to display on your host X11
      --device /dev/snd \ # to have sound output
      --device /dev/dri/card0 \ # to use graphics card acceleration (if needed)
      --device /dev/dri/renderD128 \ # to use graphics card acceleration (if needed)
      -v /dev/shm:/dev/shm \ 
      -v /var/run/dbus/system_bus_socket:/var/run/dbus/system_bus_socket \ # might need a change to your system
