True. Recently on F8 (this is a fresh install from Dec 9th after seeing
too many broken things) it fails to start for me during reboot:

# grep pulse /var/log/messages
Jan  6 07:20:54 faldor pulseaudio[2336]: pid.c: Daemon already running.
Jan  6 07:20:54 faldor pulseaudio[2336]: main.c: pa_pid_file_create() failed.
# pidof pulseaudio

# ll /tmp/pulse-misc/pid 
-rw------- 1 misc misc 5 2008-01-06 03:18 /tmp/pulse-misc/pid
# cat /tmp/pulse-misc/pid 
2332

I've had to remove the pid file manually to make it work.
