When did this start to happen?
. for years?
. since installation?
Is this buster?
Are you running any applications, particularly those involving sound,
as root, particularly in response to some previous problem?
Is it just that binary that goes missing, or does apt/dpkg actually
show that the entire package is uninstalled?
The pulseaudio package contains about 216 files. Have they all gone,
or just the one binary? (Run $ dpkg -L pulseaudio to list them.)
Cheers,
David.
