Hiya Maximiliano,
That the two pulseaudio utilities disagree on what devices
are present, it seems plausible that some part of pa is to blame.
You may like to verify that your ALSA subsystem is working properly,
and include this in your bug report.
For that, disable pulseaudio[1],
systemctl --user stop pulseaudio.socket
systemctl --user stop pulseaudio.service
test play an audio file with aplay, mpv, etc.
to a device listed by aplay -l, or cat /proc/asound/cards
To start pulse audio again:
systemctl --user start pulseaudio.socket
systemctl --user start pulseaudio.service
1.

I've not tested this myself.
cheers,
