This case only applies to a usb remote with microphone and it only happens during cool boot of the embedded pc. Another word , pulseaudio works if the pc boots without the remote. And pulseaudio works too with the usb remote plugged in after system boots. Please note that this case happens with another usb remote ( with different usb vendor ID ) too. If you need more info. , please donot hesitate to let me know. Thanks !
