Are you running this as root or a regular user.

What does (as a regular user) pulseaudio -vvvv say (I suspect daemon
already running or pid file already exists or similar)?

Are you using a distro? If so what version does your distro include and
did you overwrite you distro version with your self build version or is
it now installed into /usr/local instead?

Also, I would suggest the stable-queue git branch rather than 0.9.22 as
this contains several bugfixes on top of 0.9.22.
