YAPAP (Yet Another Pulse Audio Problem)

[doctordruidphd]

Couldn't resist.

Anyway, I'm trying to get pulseaudio to work, following the directions here:

https://wiki.ubuntu.com/PulseAudio

with appropriate kde modifications (kde-4.2/kubuntu-8.10)

First problem is it doesn't start automatically; I have to start it manually, and when I do, here come the complaints:

It seems to work, at least from SystemSettings>Multimedia>select and test.

Should I just put it in rc.local?
What about the errors?

Thanks.
