So if I disable pulseaudio autostart, and start it from bash, I get these errors

bash-5.0$ pulseaudio
E: [pulseaudio] module-jack-sink.c: jack_client_open() failed.
E: [pulseaudio] module.c: Failed to load module "module-jack-sink"
(argument: ""): initialization failed.
E: [pulseaudio] module-jack-source.c: jack_client_open() failed.
E: [pulseaudio] module.c: Failed to load module "module-jack-source"
(argument: ""): initialization failed.

So pulseaudio is seeing my settings correctly, but some other problem
is preventing it from working.
