Ah, ok, finally I got it. If I modify the aforementioned ~/.xinitrc as

# Initialize ConsoleKit session if needed
[[ -x /usr/bin/ck-xinit-session ]] &&
CK_XINIT_SESSION="/usr/bin/ck-xinit-session"

# Add your favorite window manager / desktop environment
for wm in gnome-session startkde fvwm
do
   which $wm > /dev/null 2>&1 && exec $CK_XINIT_SESSION $wm
done

then I finally have sounds working and also a Shut Down button in the System
menu!

With ~/.xinitrc it is not executed at all. And also, without ~/.xinitrc the
test -a -z "$XDG_SESSION_COOKIE" at the bottom of /etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc-common
fails and thus CK_XINIT_SESSION is empty. By removing the test for
XDG_SESSION_COOKIE sound would work also without ~/.xinitrc.

Thanks.
