This is redundant, as services by default have an implicit
After=sockets.target (via basic.target).

This is also questionable, as strictly speaking the dbus socket is not
needed by pulseaudio. If the system has dbus disabled, pulseaudio
should not pull it in.

I think it may be a good idea to also enable the socket activation
(like the user units do).
