The pulse user is added to the audio group in the post install script, but
only if the script also created the user. Ie. if you already had a pulse
user on your system for some reason then it will not be added to the audio
group automatically.

I would appreciated it if you could purge the pulseaudio package, check that
the user has been deleted, install pulseaudio again, and then check that the
user is created and added to the audio group as expected.

Thanks.
