I would give up if I were you. If pulseaudio installs and runs its fine. 
If it doesn't work first time there are too many poorly documented 
possible reasons why. On one of my own machines I eventually got it 
working, but there were several things to fix before it did - not one 
problem, but several. For example, the only NetworkManager package that 
would start on this machine was the one from rawhide (this may have been 
fixed in the updates by now). I tinkered several times, sorting out one 
problem after another, and finally it runs. There were multiple buggy 
packages, and multiple configuration issues.

I have another machine where pulseaudio just installed and ran OK. I 
have another, with multiple sounds cards, where I still haven't managed 
to make it work, and I've lost the will to try.
