Please _purge_ all PulseAudio-related packages, then use aptitude to reinstall pulseaudio-esound-compat and pulseaudio-module-gconf. Then, log out of GNOME, and make sure there are no instances of the PulseAudio daemon running. Afterward, remove /tmp/.esd* .

Note that it is recommended that you do _not_ configure PulseAudio to run as a system-wide daemon but instead use the per-user session option by enabling Software sound mixing in GNOME's System> Preferences> Sound menu.

Finally, make sure you're using 0.9.8-1ubuntu3.

As a note, on both dist-upgrades from gutsy and on a clean hardy alpha 1 dist-upgraded to current, I am unable to reproduce your inability to use PulseAudio while not in the 'pulse-rt' group.
