The overarching issue is that sound does not play from any AppVM based on an Debian Stretch Template (made using a dist-upgrade on Debian Jessie.) I have managed to figure out the following:
dom0 does not detect the Stretch AppVMs as clients. This means no sound can be passed to the sound card.
Pulse Audio is launched in Debian Jessie by running the following command:
"pulseaudio --start -n --file=/etc/pulse/qubes-default.pa --exit-idle-time=-1"
I first like to know where this line is so I could copy it to my Debian Stretch template in the same place.
Secondly, running this command in the Debian Stretch template (with the verbose flag) returns the following:
D: [pulseaudio] conf-parser.c: Parsing configuration file '/etc/pulse/client.conf'
D: [pulseaudio] conf-parser.c: /etc/pulse/client.conf.d does not exist, ignoring.
E: [pulseaudio] main.c: Daemon startup failed.
Does anyone have any ideas how to fix this?

Upon further investigation, I believe the culprit is the qubes-default.pa script, specfically the inability to load the module-vchan-sink, which is qubes specific.

It looks like that module was compiled for earlier version of Pulseaudio
(was it upgraded recently in stretch?). Currently stretch has pulseaudio
8.0, but qubes-gui-agent contains module for 7.1. Will rebuild shortly.

uncomment it in /etc/apt/sources.list.d/qubes-r3.list).
