I ran all your command, and get 0.
Each time I $ pulseaudio --start, I see this errors in my log files:
Aug 29 11:48:58 localhost pulseaudio[3361]: [pulseaudio] pid.c: Stale
PID file, overwriting.
Aug 29 11:48:59 localhost pulseaudio[3361]: [pulseaudio]
module-equalizer-sink.c: resume state exists but is wrong size!
Aug 29 11:48:59 localhost kernel: [ 6669.429172] pulseaudio[3361]:
segfault at 48 ip 00007fd0be96e04e sp 00007ffff21144c0 error 4 in
module-equalizer-sink.so[7fd0be969000+f000]

I am totally lost on this issue, especially the fact that my sound card
is not recognized with $aplay -l
