This is clearly reproducable.

After a fresh login - no matter whether I use autospawn = no in 
/etc/pulse/client.conf or /home/martin/.pulse/client.conf or not at all - 
I get:

martin at merkaba:~> ps aux | grep pulse
pulse    21041  0.1  0.0 217932  5568 ?        S<l  14:52   0:00 
/usr/bin/pulseaudio --system --daemonize --high-priority --log-
target=syslog --disallow-module-loading=0
martin   21500  3.6  0.0 302184  6708 ?        S<l  14:54   0:00 
/usr/bin/pulseaudio --start
martin   21503  0.0  0.0 194600  4264 ?        Sl   14:54   0:00 
/usr/lib/pulseaudio/pulse/gconf-helper
martin   21526  0.0  0.0   9776   920 pts/3    S+   14:54   0:00 grep 
pulse

After killing the userwide pulseaudio daemon stuff works as expected.

Except for the low initial volume. Although kmix is set to set the 
previous volume at startup.

Well anyway, I will call it a day for today. Getting this setup straight 
takes a ridicolous amount of time.

Ciao,
