Some modules seem indeed to be 32 bit, I have the same issue root@kyle:/usr/lib/pulse-2.1/modules# file *| grep -v 64-bit libprotocol-esound.so: ELF 32-bit LSB shared object, Intel 80386, version 1 (SYSV), dynamically linked, BuildID[sha1]=0xba465c853f9f4a756be3c5799004d5dad154d779, stripped module-esound-compat-spawnfd.so: ELF 32-bit LSB shared object, Intel 80386, version 1 (SYSV), dynamically linked, BuildID[sha1]=0xfb762fd5be52f7ecacdcd853e03620c1a55ae9a1, stripped module-esound-compat-spawnpid.so: ELF 32-bit LSB shared object, Intel 80386, version 1 (SYSV), dynamically linked, BuildID[sha1]=0xcbf384e8214682b6b01fa73a8fb29454ae69842e, stripped module-esound-protocol-tcp.so: ELF 32-bit LSB shared object, Intel 80386, version 1 (SYSV), dynamically linked, BuildID[sha1]=0xf20628b16f34bf4109d8cf27c5a4f6159485bf6f, stripped module-esound-protocol-unix.so: ELF 32-bit LSB shared object, Intel 80386, version 1 (SYSV), dynamically linked, BuildID[sha1]=0xe22999757c6a8a55851c0d46d7eb60b287619536, stripped

The indicator and settings showed no volume control. Some debugging later showed that pulse audio wasn't running.

Luke said it worked for him without this module, but it appears having the i386 module installed was confusing pulse into thinking it was available but being unable to load it (I am using an amd64 machine).
