Just tested and it seems to load fine a gnome login plays the sounds nicely.

If you want (and to save too much divergence if it's not needed), you
are welcome to just copy the one I have. It also does some small checks
relating to stale pid files that I should really port to pulse properly
at some point....

You can grab the xinit.d file here:
http://svn.mandriva.com/cgi-bin/viewvc.cgi/packages/cooker/pulseaudio/current/SOURCES/pulseaudio.xinit?revision=HEAD&view=markup

and a /etc/sysconfig/pulseaudio template here:
