Oh, I see the difference: without the autostart file, the module would
only be loaded once and for all. start-pulseaudio-x11 additionally
submits the $DISPLAY.

That's still going to break with multiple user sessions either way:

 (1) with default.PA the "current" $DISPLAY would be the first session
of that user, ever

 (2) with start-pulseaudio-x11 the "current" $DISPLAY will always be the
session that was started last, and previous sessions would lose the
module (assuming that this actually reloads the module); OTOH, if trying
to load an already loaded module is a no-op, then it should be no
different to (1)?

If PA really wants to do proper support for multiple sessions with one
daemon, it needs to add a /usr/lib/ConsoleKit/run-seat.d/ script.
