PulseAudio won't start

I just decided to install PulseAudio because I really liked it when I was using Ubuntu.  So, I followed the Arch Linux wiki on PulseAudio.  Needless to say, something went wrong.  During startup, PulseAudio spits out a error messages as it can't start the daemon.  Maybe Avahi, too.  I can't tell because I don't know how to record the startup messages. 

Anyway, when starting the PulseAudio daemon manually, it spits out this error message:

[me@comp ~]$ sudo /etc/rc.d/pulseaudio restart
:: Stopping PulseAudio                                                   [DONE] 
:: Starting PulseAudio                                                   [BUSY] W: ltdl-bind-now.c: Failed to find original dlopen loader.
                                                                         [DONE]

By the way, I am using Gnome with ESD enabled in Sound Preferences.  If you guys can't figure out what is wrong, I wouldn't mind a walkthrough of the installation process.

Same problem here...

Re: PulseAudio won't start

Last time I had pulseaudio installed, I got the same message at manual startup. But pulseaudio worked fine. I think that this message isn't important at all...

sorry but I can't help further because I reinstalled Arch without Pulseaudio. But the Pulseaudio Wiki entry helped me a lot. (http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/PulseAudio)

Re: PulseAudio won't start

Came here as well, worked fine, but cpu usage was at 10%, too much for me, so switched back to normal alsa. Don't mind, this message isn't worth worrying about.
