On my system the daemon fails to start in any case with 'Daemon startup
failed', but that is a separate issue and less serious. There seem to
be two separate places where pulseaudio --start may hang indefinitely on
kfreebsd:
On my system, it is slightly better:

So far as I can tell, this bug is a race condition; on one machine I
can reproduce it about 75% of the time, less often under ktrace, and
never under gdb. During gdm3/GNOME startup it is called several times
and almost certainly means a non-starting session.
Sometimes it prints 'Daemon startup
