I ran into this error message setting up pulseaudio on an F7 system when
I was trying to run the pulseaudio daemon system-wide.  In my case, it
was because /dev/snd/* wasn't readable by the daemon (which runs under
the user "pulse" when running in system-wide mode).  Not sure if this
might be your problem.
