While upgrading a different machine from stretch -> buster, I noticed the following in apt-listchanges output:pulseaudio (11.1-2) unstable; urgency=medium * Since this version, pulseaudio disables autospawn by default on linux systems, and replaces that with systemd socket activation. If you are not using systemd, then please edit or remove /etc/pulse/client.conf.d/00-disable-autospawn.conf to re-enable it. Seems relevant to your issue - the grep above didn't look in /etc/pulse/client.conf.d.
Many thanks, that seems to be it, and that behaviour change is fairly non obvious without reading the changelog.
Perhaps the pulseaudio postinstall script could do a better job here? It should be possible to detect the active init system on install, and not disable autospawn unless systemd is positively detected, surely.
