what I meant is:
why does qemu depend on sound and gstreamer and wayland libraries?
After all, i am just trying to run VMs on my hypervisor.

If I remember correctly, my previous installation on Debian 10, qemu-system-x86 
had no such dependencies.

Seems to me like trying to install openssh-server, but it needs full gnome 
environment libraries.
