Actually we have that already in README.Debian since 2015 (and I wrote
that file — seems as if I'm getting demented):

BB vs PulseAudio
================

Unfortunately BB does not work under X if PulseAudio is active and
Music is requested. Due to this issue Music in BB is turned off by
default in Debian.

If you have PulseAudio installed and want to show off BB with Music,
you can do that by either:

* switching to the virtual text console and running "bb" there, or by

* temporarily letting PulseAudio release the audio hardware and hiding
  from "bb" the fact that there is a PulseAudio server with the
  following command:

  pasuspender -- env PULSE_SERVER= bb

This issue is tracked in the Debian Bug Tracking System at
https://bugs.debian.org/761023

Andrej: Does this help you?

Matt: You said, you had the issue also on the console. Could you check
if that "pasuspender -- env PULSE_SERVER= bb" command workarounds the
issue for you on the virtual console, too? Maybe there's more virtual
console support from pulseaudio nowadays…
