You've conflated multiple symptoms into one bug report, which makes it
utterly confusing to separate to the drive-by Googler.
So:
1. PulseAudio is doing the right thing: it attempts to load the alsa backend,
but you've got a process running already that has monopolized the sound device,
so PA bails.
2. Lucid no longer ships such 70pulseaudio.
3. Patches are welcome! :-)
