Comment:

 This message is printed on every startup, when started as normal user (who
 is not part of the "rt-pulse" group) but configured for realtime
 scheduling. The syslog dumps shown in the LP bug report clearly show that
 the PID changes every line, i.e. you are probably running PA on-demand,
 and not (as the reporter suggests) as a single system-wide instance.

 To fix this either properly configure your PA clients to use the system-
 wide daemon. Or add the specific user to the "pulse-rt" group. (which
 however, has some security implications, YMMV) Or disable rt scheduling
 for your user.
