This init script is for system-wide PulseAudio instance. This is not a 
recommended way to start it, see 
http://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/Software/PulseAudio/Documentation/User/WhatIsWrongWithSystemWide/

So, you just have to ignore the init script. Or even erase it so that it 
doesn't hurt your eyes.

The proper way to start PulseAudio is from a user session. The correct 
command is: pulseaudio --start

PulseAudio already contains a desktop file that is used by all 
non-broken desktop environments to auto-start it on login. See 
/etc/xdg/autostart/pulseaudio.desktop , so even the "pulseaudio --start" 
command is not actually needed to be issued.
