Comment 146 for bug 191027

Observing all the comments, something poped up in my mind.
Might it not be GDM that is preventing Pulse to startup correctly?
See, if there is no pulseaudio running and GDM tries to make its startup sounds (1 before login, 1 after) it will probably use ALSA, and if it locks up alsa while pulse is starting, pulse will not be able to really start, because it could not get a hole of the sound system.
Does that make sense to you guys?
I don't what libasound2 or anything like that might help, cause pulseaudio is working. It just doesn't startup correctly.
And as far as I read, it should be started as the user, not root.
