Bug#923203: pulseaudio: fails to start without manual configuration

[Tobias Hansen]

Hi,

I just updated by system from stretch to buster and after that there was no sound in GNOME because pulseaudio was not started.
It can be easily worked around by setting "autospawn = yes" in ~/.config/pulse/client.conf but it's quite an annoying regression.

Can this still be fixed for buster? Can we make it an RC bug?

Best,
Tobias
