pulseaudio-modules-bt breaks pulseaudio

[klautcomputing]

Describe the bug

Before getting into the weeds: This is about the autostart behavior, pulseaudio itself works fine.

I recently got a new machine: x1 nano and just copied my config: https://gist.github.com/klautcomputing/a04d32f22b6f9c340249c0586056cede over from my old x230. Unfortunately, pulseaudio doesn't autostart anymore which means I need to run pulseaudio after logging in to get it to start again, because somehow it fails:

systemctl --failed --user
  UNIT               LOAD   ACTIVE SUB    DESCRIPTION
● pulseaudio.service loaded failed failed Sound Service
● pulseaudio.socket  loaded failed failed Sound System

Here's my journal logs: https://gist.github.com/klautcomputing/e42ca2b760f3aa472e6189a3af59e5c7

I am running unstable:

nix-channel --list
nixos https://nixos.org/channels/nixos-unstable

I noticed that:

cat /etc/pulse/client.conf
autospawn=no

Which as I understand controls the systemwide behavior.

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. use my config
2. be on unstable
3. ???
4. no profit

Expected behavior
pulseaudio should autostart 😄

Screenshots
This is what I am seeing when I start pavucontrol after logging in and before running pulseaudio manually: https://ibb.co/qdZBX7M

Some additional info:
The logs when I start pulseaudio from the shell: https://gist.github.com/klautcomputing/137f23f1353d463aead5198d4b094220
The executable which I start from the shell is the same one as the one in the journal logs which doesn't want to start.

[klautcomputing]

So I found the culprit! Removing:

      extraModules = [ pkgs.pulseaudio-modules-bt ];

from my pulseaudio config made it work again...
I am going to leave this open because adding a line should not break it :)

[klautcomputing]

Two questions remain for me:

• Why is 14.2 in PATH but 13.0 gets used by systemd?
• And why does the bt line break the systemd version?

[deliciouslytyped]

I can't repro with the following:

{pkgs, ...}: {
  imports = [
    ];

  users.mutableUsers = false;
  services.getty.autologinUser = "root";
  users.users.root.initialPassword = "root";
  users.users.alice = {
    isNormalUser = true;
    initialPassword = "alice";
    };

  services.xserver = {
    enable = true;
    desktopManager.xfce.enable = true;
    displayManager.autoLogin = {
      enable = true;
      user = "alice";
      };  
    displayManager.defaultSession = "xfce";
    };

  sound.enable = true;
  services.blueman.enable = true;
  hardware.pulseaudio = {
    enable = true;
    extraModules = [ pkgs.pulseaudio-modules-bt ];
    package = pkgs.pulseaudioFull;
    extraConfig = "
      load-module module-switch-on-connect
      ";
    };

rm nixos.qcow2; nixos-rebuild build-vm -I nixpkgs=channel:nixos-unstable -I nixos-config=$(pwd)/configuration.nix |& tee log | grep "can be started" | grep -oE "/nix/store/.+" | bash

1. did I miss something?
2. which commit is your channel on? You can check with nix eval "(with import <nixpkgs> {}; lib.version)"
   This should result in something like "21.05pre275822.916ee862e87"
