Pulseaudio - socket-server.c: TCP connection refused

Hi,

I have a problem with pulseaudio running as a system wide daemon at boot time (probably the same as running "pulseaudio --system -D" as root). Skype connects to pulseaudio without any troubles, and so does padevchooser. My problem is Phonon, which can't connect to pulseaudio and it leaves a message in messages.log, every time I click "test" in systemsettings's multimedia section:

Dec  7 02:11:52 d500-kleofas pulseaudio[12644]: socket-server.c: TCP connection refused by tcpwrap.

My /etc/hosts.allow file contains

pulseaudio-native:      LOCAL                                   : ALLOW
pulseaudio-simple:      LOCAL                                   : ALLOW
pulseaudio-cli:         LOCAL                                   : ALLOW
pulseaudio-http:        LOCAL                                   : ALLOW
esound:                 LOCAL                                   : ALLOW

and my /etc/hosts.deny file contains

ALL: ALL: DENY

If I remove the ALL: ALL: DENY entry from /etc/hosts.deny then it's working. I don't want that, I find it insecure. Can anybody tell me where am I wrong?
