Bug#904652: pulseaudio: looses device and replace it with dummy package so no sound possible

Package: pulseaudio
Version: 12.0-1
Severity: grave
Tags: upstream
Justification: renders package unusable

Dear Maintainer,

i didn't do anything.
Upgrading the system like always.
Suddenly there was no sound available.

removing my .config/pulse and the /tmp/pulse-* followed by killing pulseaudio
and restarting it brings the sound back in rhythmbox but not in firefox.
The device is still not present in audio preferencces in gnome-control center.

After rebooting the same problem is back.
