    authkey.c: Failed to open cookie file '/root/.config/pulse/cookie':
        No such file or directory
    authkey.c: Failed to load authentication key '/root/.config/pulse/cookie':
        No such file or directory
    authkey.c: Failed to open cookie file '/root/.pulse-cookie':
        No such file or directory

The cookie errors are generally harmless. However, this shows that you're
trying to run pulseaudio as root. That's a bad idea, unless there are no real
users on the system.

    pid.c: Daemon already running.

That means that something tried to start pulseaudio when pulseaudio was already
running.

    socket-server.c: bind(): Address already in use
    module.c: Failed to load module "module-esound-protocol-unix" (argument:
""): initialization failed.

That means that the esound socket is already reserved when pulseaudio tries to
start listening on it. Probably another pulseaudio instance is running and has
reserved it. Assuming that you don't have any esound applications, you can
remove the esound module from /etc/pulse/default.pa.

    client-conf-x11.c: xcb_connection_has_error() returned true

DISPLAY is set, but connecting to X11 fails. This is not a serious problem in
itself, but indicates that something is weird on your system.
