I am pretty certain this is bug #276 (and friends)

You need to disable autospawn by setting

autospawn=yes in /etc/pulse/client.conf.d/00-disable-autospawn.conf, or
commenting out autospawn=no.

This issue and workaround is documented in the Release Notes.

  https://files.devuan.org/devuan_beowulf/Release_notes.txt

It is also mentioned in the Buster Release Notes.

Thanks.
