pulseaudio user not found

[jdashiel@xxxxxxxxx (Jude DaShiell)]

This is the response I get without the --daemonize parameter on the 
pulseaudio command line and the typescript file fails to start with 
--daemonize too.
cut here.

I'll try all of this under a user account to see if I get identical 
failures.
