Additionally pulseaudio wants ofono to be installed.
When having it installed you get something like:

pulseaudio: modules/bluetooth/backend-ofono.c:376:hf_audio_agent_register_reply:Failed to register as a handsfree audio agent with ofono: org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.AccessDenied: Rejected send message, 2 matched rules; type="method_call", sender=":1.34" (uid=1010 pid=3528 comm="/usr/bin/pulseaudio --start ") interface="org.ofono.HandsfreeAudioManager" member="Register" error name="(unset)" requested_reply="0" destination="org.ofono" (uid=0 pid=2904 comm="/usr/sbin/ofonod ")

in /var/syslog.
To get this to work edit
/etc/dbus-1/system.d/ofono.conf

and add
...

...
below

...

Make sure the users of the desktop are members of the group "bluetooth".

Solved it:

Add the line

/usr/bin/pulseaudio --start --log-target=syslog

below the line

"set -e"

in /usr/bin/start-pulseaudio-x11

This starts it automatically for all users on the system, when they log on.
If you have some time you should file a bug for that - as pulseaudio under KDE in beowulf is mute by default without it...

what i noticed is that upon booting there is a quite delay with showing several lines

unknown lvalue something autospawn '" '"
unknown lvalue something autospawn '" '"
unknown lvalue something autospawn '" '"
unknown lvalue something autospawn '" '"
unknown lvalue something autospawn '" '"
unknown lvalue something autospawn '" '"

sorry for not being too precise here

Hi
Try commenting the line "autospawn=no" on /etc/pulse/client.conf.d/00-disable-autospawn.conf file like the comments on that file suggest.

Ok! Thanks you! I try!
Developers Devuan can resolve this problem.

King regards.
