Please open a new bug, as this is unrelated to this one. And please
disable system mode (remove /etc/init.d/pulseaudio and
/etc/default/pulseaudio), as pulseaudio is better run as user before
doing so. Pulseaudio should work without configuration.

There is no systemd pulseaudio service because it should run as a user
service not a system one.

Maybe. But pulseaudio should work by just installing it and not
touching anything.
