Subject: bug#403: Pulseaudio dont autostart(Beowulf)

From: Ian Dupuy <[email-masked]>

package: pulseaudio
version: 12.2-4+deb10u1

After upgrading to devuan beowulf I was testing and saw that pulseaudio did
not auto-start, the temporary solutions was to put pulseaudio -D in the
autostart. Then looking for a little more I found the solution in a
reddit(comments) post:

I had this problem on Debian unstable. Look if you have a file called
> /etc/pulse/client.conf.d/00-disable-autospawn.conf. If there is a line that

>
>     autospawn=no
>
> comment it out (put a semicolon in front of it), like this:
>
>     ; autospawn=no
>
> Alternatively, check if in /etc/pulse/client.conf or your home config
> directory autospawn is disabled, and change that.

Similarly, instead of commenting on the option, I removed it, and the
problem was solved

Thanks.

This is already a know issue and the configuration requirement is included in
the beowulf release notes.
