I see. Might be a separate issue then, not necessarily in bb.

Then again, in the meanwhile I was able to reproduce this issue even
on a virtual console — on a minimal Raspberry Pi running Debian
Testing/Bullseye. It was more or less a minimal installation. I
installed pulseaudio and rebooted to be sure the logins are setup with
pulseaudio.

I though also got a lot of pulseaudio warnings on the console about
audio driver issues. But these seemed hardware-specific.

But in the end, the workaround described in the README.Debian with
"pasuspend -- env PULSE_SERVER= bb" worked there, too.

So I will simplify the README.Debian and focus on that variant as it
seems to help in most if not all cases.

Oh, and I found another workaround, but I can't really recommend it:
Run it as root on the virtual console. Seems to work because
pulseaudio isn't started for root. ;-D

		Regards, Axel
