Very sorry, I don't think this is a direct result of my patch, but perhaps a side effect of its installation. Are you sure that you cannot start PulseAudio manually? Also you can re-enable the autostart by typing the following, as long as you don't have any other options in that file (you would have deliberately had to put something in there):
rm ~/.pulse/client.conf
After typing this, try typing "killall pulseaudio", and then "pulseaudio". If you still cannot use PulseAudio, please reply with the output of the "pulseaudio" command as you did above, once again.
