[SOLVED] rc.conf - starting Pulse .. FAILED! Why ?

Feb  2 10:20:00 arch pulseaudio[1547]: module.c: Module "module-stream-restore" should be loaded once at most. Refusing to load.
Feb  2 10:20:00 arch pulseaudio[1547]: module.c: Failed to load  module "module-volume-restore" (argument: "table="/var/pulse/volume-restore.table""): initialization failed.
Feb  2 10:20:00 arch pulseaudio[1547]: main.c: Module load failed.
Feb  2 10:20:00 arch pulseaudio[1547]: main.c: Failed to initialize daemon.
Feb  2 10:20:00 arch pulseaudio[1546]: main.c: Daemon startup failed.

The funniest part is that it fails to start but I still can use it Everything seems to be working - why I get these errors and is there a way to get rid of them ?

Running pulseaudio as system-wide daemon isn't really supported.

Then what are the alternatives / most commonly used ways to start it ?

It is normally started on demand with user's permissions.

Re: [SOLVED] rc.conf - starting Pulse .. FAILED! Why ?

So basically what I need to do is to add it to my .xinitrc ?

exec ck-launch-session openbox-session
start-pulseaudio-x11

exec ck-launch-session openbox-session
pulseaudio --start

Which one would be the best / right one ?

The second runs the first, I believe.
