You should not have any start-pulseaudio-x11 process running. This indicates that the pulseaudio daemon process has not exited (as it should) and is preventing the script (start-pulseaudio-x11) from exiting. Also there should be only one "pulseaudio --start" process visible (again indicative of it not forking away properly). So before we look into why the client can't connect to the daemon, let's see why the daemon doesn't start!! Try a fresh reboot, and just kill any running pulseaudio processes. Then in a terminal (just as a regular user): pulseaudio -vvvvv And then paste the output here.
