I did a similar work-around fix when first faced with the same problem
on Devuan.  However, I think the proper fix, as pointed out by Ken, is
to edit

  /etc/pulse/client.conf.d/00-disable-autospawn.conf

and comment out the "autospawn=no" line.  This is the solution that I'm
currently using on all my Devuan Beowulf systems without encountering
any issues.  I wonder why Devuan isn't distributing a patched version of
pulseaudio that has this configured correctly by default?
