Wait until x session ends and then kill pulseaudio

When start-pulseaudio-* starts pulseaudio, it doesn't kill it on x session end,
causing log annoyances and possibly race conditions with alsa shutdown (alsa
may mute devices before pulseaudio quits, so pulseaudio stores the wrong
volume).

Attached is a patch applied in debian to mitigate such issues. Unfortunately,
this adds a dependency on xprop.

PS: another extra improvement would be to avoid starting the daemon if it is
already running, and thus avoiding a "daemon already running" log message.
