Difference between pulseaudio 2.1 and 3.0

What is the difference between this two versions of pulseaudio? After upgrade to version 3.0, the sound stops working for most applications. MPD works only, the rest cannot connect, even pavucontrol.
Pulseaudio-alsa is installed.

~/.asoundrc

pcm.pulse {
    type pulse
}

ctl.pulse {
    type pulse
}

pcm.!default {
    type pulse
}

ctl.!default {
    type pulse
}

/etc/asound.conf

# Use PulseAudio by default
pcm.!default {
  type pulse
  fallback "sysdefault"
  hint {
    show on
    description "Default ALSA Output (currently PulseAudio Sound Server)"
  }
}

ctl.!default {
  type pulse
  fallback "sysdefault"
}

# vim:set ft=alsaconf:

After deleting ~/.pulse folder and restarting, pulseaudio 3.0 is dead, but pulseaudio 2.1 works
Why?
