This is not a recommended way to start it, see http://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/Software/PulseAudio/Documentation/User/WhatIsWrongWithSystemWide/ So, you just have to ignore the init script. Or even erase it so that it doesn't hurt your eyes. The proper way to start PulseAudio is from a user session. The correct command is: pulseaudio --start PulseAudio already contains a desktop file that is used by all non-broken desktop environments to auto-start it on login. See /etc/xdg/autostart/pulseaudio.desktop , so even the "pulseaudio --start" command is not actually needed to be issued. -- Alexander E. Patrakov
