Issue resolved. This isn't a bug with pulseaudio, the issue stemmed from
the FQDN not being set properly which messed up the idmapping for NFS
for the home disk. Wrong user ids (nobody) = permission problems for
pulseaudio.

Title:
Pulse audio startup failure
Status in “pulseaudio” package in Ubuntu:
Invalid
Bug description:
In Raring ringtail. New install. Home directory mounted over NFS.
Audio icon on menu bar shows speaker icon with dashes. Clicking on
icon the menu only has volume control set to zero (can't
change).,Rhythmbox link and play controls, and Sound Settings link.
Would expect to have speaker icon with sound graphic, more options
under the menu and to be able to adjust sound settings (e.g. volume).
Reason seems to be that pulseaudio fails to start. In Syslog a series
of error reports a second or two apart reporting:
Mar 22 09:11:44 unbuntu-desktop pulseaudio[4095]: [pulseaudio] authkey.c:
