Michael, I would really appreciate some guidance on how you would like
to have this handled.

Like Clemens already stated: forcing to "root" is a no-go.

Passing --with-system-user=root is not a good idea. I think we should
use a system user like nobody or a special "pulse" user (the default),
because PulseAudio can then drop privileges and change to that user
after startup.
Not sure if a tmpfiles.d file is necessary for /run/pulse or if
PulseAudio creates the directory with correct permissions.

Cheers,
Clemens
