This file (socket to be exact) is created when you start pulseaudio under
a
normal user account.

This path is wrong. It should be /var/run/pulse/native. This is the socket
that pulseaudio creates when you run it in system wide daemon mode. (ie.
when you start it using the init script)

You force pulseaudio clients to connect to any pulseaudio daemon you want
by
setting the PULSE_SERVER environment variable. For example:

$ export PULSE_SERVER=my-other-machine.local

to connect to a pulseaudio daemon running on the host
my-other-machine.local. Or:

$ export PULSE_SERVER=unix:/var/run/pulse/native

to connect to a pulseaudio daemon running in system wide mode on the local
machine.

See http://www.pulseaudio.org/wiki/ServerStrings for the full details. FAQ
#18 might be of help too.

PulseAudio usually works fine "out of the box" on Lenny. Maybe your best
bet
is to purge all the pulse packages and reinstall.

Well, I tried completely purging and reinstalling every package with the
name pulse in it instead of just the main pulseaudio package and  sure
enough it worked, all the problems have magically disappeared.

Its Crazy! It works perfect again! Hell if I know what was wrong.
