module-console-kit does nothing when systemd-logind is detected. If it's failing for you then you do not have systemd (or the -shim) installed and running. > To fix this, either the "load-module module-console-kit" line can be > commented in /etc/pulse/default.pa.

But if you are not using the default settings, you can surely also modify pulseaudio's configuration? Or are you suggesting we drop consolekit support entirely? -- Saludos, Felipe Sateler
