Does it fix it if you run 
pulseaudio --start
That should re-initialize pulseaudio, picking up available devices.  If
the problem is some kind of race condition between X and pulseaudio as
it seems to be because it is intermittent, this should remedy it.

I don't think this is directly caused by X, as X should not be creating
virtual sound devices.  But, I'm no expert.
