But if it is obviously able to work even if D-Bus is not present on system, why would PulseAudio refuse to start if it's just that some of its modules cannot find D-Bus? Wouldn't it make more sense if in the case I described above, any Bluetooth audio devices, discoverable/reachable/whatever only through D-Bus, stay inaccessible, but PulseAudio still keeps working with other available audio devices?
