Can't Start Pulseaudio

Hi,

I don't know why but I can't start pulseaudio or alsamixer. I used to be able to start them, but I forgot what I had to do to get them running. I was just using it as a simple volume control when I had it working.

I've tried:

[gulliver@myhost ~]$ pulseaudio --start
E: [pulseaudio] main.c: Daemon startup failed.
[gulliver@myhost ~]$ start-pulseaudio-x11
E: [pulseaudio] main.c: Daemon startup failed.
[gulliver@myhost ~]$ alsamixer
ALSA lib pulse.c:229:(pulse_connect) PulseAudio: Unable to connect: Connection refused

cannot open mixer: Connection refused
[gulliver@myhost ~]$ pulseaudio
E: [pulseaudio] main.c: Unknown command: (eg. when X is not active)
E: [pulseaudio] main.c: Failed to initialize daemon.
[gulliver@myhost ~]$  

Verbose isn't any different.

In another thread I read somebody trying.  I got a pretty large output.

[gulliver@myhost ~]$ pulseaudio --log-level=4 --log-target=stderr
