I beg to differ.  What does running as root have to do with pulseaudio?
It should work, it works for many but not for Gene and others :(

There is always this page:
http://www.pulseaudio.org/

And this page which might/might not help ?
http://www.pulseaudio.org/wiki/PerfectSetup

I cannot complain because I have sound :), it works for me, but for others it does not and they need working solutions.  

I see some alsa related stuff from dmesg, but I have sound.  I wonder whey I get these, but they are there

It should even work better as superuser, he shall not see permission errors, if he does, then there are obviously problems here!
