OK those are different filenames to your first comment #3, which is why
they don't exist...
Packages like pulseaudio are intended to support multiple different
distros and "flavours". Sometimes those won't have systemd. So
especially if the package predates systemd, there's no reason to drop
files
The package "pulseaudio" contains the files:
/usr/bin/start-pulseaudio-x11
/etc/pulse/client.conf.d/01-enable-autospawn.conf
Thus, it should be fairly obvious where I got the files from.
And /etc/pulse/client.conf is ignored, despite my user (and root) not
having a ~/.local/pulse directory.
And
1. I don't know where you got that file. I don't seem to have it in
Ubuntu 20.04 or 20.10. You can find out where it's from with 'dpkg -S
...'
2. Some quick Googling suggests /etc/pulse/* is the fallback for when
~/.local/pulse/* does not exist.

Thanks, that's fair enough.
My remaining questions then are:
1. Why is /usr/bin/start-pulseaudio needed?
2. Why is /etc/pulse/client.conf ignored?
3. In light of 2, why is /etc/pulse/client.conf.d/01-respawn-something needed?
4. And in light of /lib/systemd/user/pulseaudio.service, why is
/etc/x
It looks like you would need to somehow edit/disable:
/lib/systemd/user/pulseaudio.service
Also, since this is not actually a bug I am going to mark it as invalid.
But you are free to keep discussing the issue here.
