Weird. I think this is PulseAudio's responsibility but how that relates to Wayland is not obvious. One possible explanation is the number of libraries/plugins used internally in the audio system that try to connect to an X11 server (I don't know why but they do). Starting recently mutter/gnome-shell does not have Xwayland running all the time so random library components are failing to find an X11 server. Seen also in bug 1949200.
