Comment(by coling):

 Looking at the getfacl output the problem is indeed permission based.
 Adding your user to the audio groups would certainly mask the problem but
 it isn't the 'right' fix. If you end up with more than one user on your
 system in the future and try to do a 'fast user switch', the fact that one
 user is in the audio group will lead to problems.

 Generally speaking the problem you're encountering is below PA in the
 linux system. Console-kit or udev is not properly writing ACLs on the
 device nodes for your user when you log in. Perhaps you start your session
 in a strange way, or perhaps some issue with your login manager means it
 does not properly register your session with console-kit.

 Ultimately, ck-list-sessions would tell you, but this is very much not a
 PA bug and as such I'd recommend asking in your distros community channels
 (mailing lists, forums, IRC channels etc) for help on fixing this issue
 properly.
