Well regardless of the cause, I think the symptom is still the same. 
There is a race somewhere relating to the device permissions. It could 
be udev or consolekit or kernel level inotify support to blame, but I 
don't think it's pulse specifically (tho' that could very easily be 
wrong - or it could be that this is where it needs to be worked around 
in any case).
