ConsoleKit is the app that changes permissions behind your back when
people log in on a physical console. Of course, if you disable it then
you'll probably be stuck with the 0600 permissions, which you can then
fix with a udev rule.
Personally, I just completely remove pulseaudio from my system and enjoy
working sound. I've long since given up on filing bug reports.
