The policy is that pulsesink should not autospawn the pulseaudio daemon. This
is part of automatic discovery of the sound backend based on what services *are
running*. If not you would have jackaudiosink, pulsesink, artsd, pipewiresink
all starting their own daemons when trying to figure out what backend to
connect to.

> Q2. If the option can't be changed, how can i run pulseaudio with pulsesink?

Pulseaudio should be started as part of the boot process of the machine if you
want to use it.
