It's worth noting (as I alluded to earlier) that the 0.9.15 and the 0.9.16 have a *known* incompatibility with regards to how they look for the socket path to communicate with the pulseaudio daemon. If you run start-pulseaudio-x11 and get some results when doing: xprop -root| grep PULSE_SERVER then this should be enough to work around this incompatibility (although I've not tested this).
