First, it's not recommended to run pulseaudio in system mode.  Second it fails:

Nov 11 08:35:27 bryma pulseaudio[19871]: main.c: Running in system
mode, but --disallow-exit not set!
Nov 11 08:35:27 bryma pulseaudio[19871]: main.c: Running in system
mode, but --disallow-module-loading not set!
Nov 11 08:35:27 bryma pulseaudio[19871]: main.c: Running in system
mode, forcibly disabling SHM mode!
Nov 11 08:35:27 bryma pulseaudio[19871]: main.c: Running in system
mode, forcibly disabling exit idle time!
Nov 11 08:35:28 bryma pulseaudio[19872]: main.c: OK, so you are
running PA in system mode. Please note that you most likely shouldn't
be doing that.
Nov 11 08:35:28 bryma pulseaudio[19872]: main.c: If you do it
nonetheless then it's your own fault if things don't work as expected.
Nov 11 08:35:28 bryma pulseaudio[19872]: main.c: Please read
http://pulseaudio.org/wiki/WhatIsWrongWithSystemMode for an
explanation why system mode is usually a bad idea.
Nov 11 08:35:28 bryma pulseaudio[19872]: module.c: module-hal-detect
is deprecated: Please use module-udev-detect instead of
module-hal-detect!
Nov 11 08:35:28 bryma pulseaudio[19872]: module.c:
module-volume-restore is deprecated: Please use module-stream-restore
instead of module-volume-restore!
Nov 11 08:35:28 bryma pulseaudio[19872]: module-volume-restore.c: We
will now load module-stream-restore. Please make sure to remove
module-volume-restore from your configuration.

I noticed there's a new HAL package available, I'll upgrade to see if
things improve.
