Okay first of all the reason the sound wasn't working was due to LP #108577 but I'll leave those details to that bug report. However, I was only able to fix this problem by adding me (user) to pulse-rt. I'm still trying to figure out why pulseaudio is trying to run with high-priority and/or realtime when it is specifically disabled in the config. I know when run from the init scripts (going into runlevel5) it runs per command line (see above comment) as high-priority. However, if I try running pulseaudio from the command line I still get the same result. I'll look into this a little more to verify but a program is supposed to obey the configuration unless a command-line parameter specifically says otherwise. Also I'll take this time to ask, why is pulseaudio not being built with PolicyKit support yet? pulseaudio has the policy file @ src/daemon/PulseAudio.policy but from what I can tell pulseaudio is being built without PolicyKit support. I say this because if you run the latest pulseaudio ubuntu version with log-level set to debug I don't see any of the pa_log_info's in src/daemon/main.c around lines 420-430. Maybe PolKit support is being built but pulseaudio is not finding it on the system? I'm not sure if what is happening is happening intentionally but I will point it out just in case this is not supposed to be happening the way it is.
