Bug Description
PA fails to start in /etc/rc*
Fix is to make pulseaudio start at S25 in the sysvinit system, and add "Should-start: dbus hal" "Should-stop: dbus hal" in the header of the initscript.
Can we fix this in the current release? We need to, otherwise PA is useless in a default boot system that is using PA as systemwide daemon.

By default, pulseaudio only runs as the user, and not system wide. Unless you have a specific reason, pulseaudio should not be run system wide as it is a possible security risk. Added to that, pulseaudio will only use the hal module if its available and hal is running. Perhaps the hal module loading needs to prevent pulseaudio from failing etc, but people who set up pulseaudio system wide, do so for a good reason, and I'd suspect they would know what they are doing.
