Host (what you are running librespot on):

  • OS: raspbian
  • Platform: RPi 4

Additional context
I've followed this for mpd https://askubuntu.com/questions/555103/mpd-with-pulseaudio and that works fine. If I use alsa instead librespot works fine.

That doesn't look like a full log, it doesn't even contain your error message.

Considering the link you posted, why not try running
PULSE_SERVER=127.0.0.1 librespot ---verbose --backend pulseaudio
