Need help to modify wiki page of xorg multiseat pulseaudio

Hello everybody,
I'm trying to setup pulseaudio to work in system mode due to the fact that I have a multiseat config.
In the wiki page of multiseat, for what I have understand, there are some errors.
First error is the process of creating the user and the group. The order should be to create pulse user with main group (gid) pulse and then add him to audio group.
Second error is the parameter that one should pass when it loads module-native-protocol-unix. If I modify like it's said, pulseaudio won't start!
So, correcting this two things, I can make it work. The problem still remains when I want that pulseaudio start at boot. I cannot find an elegant way to make it start.
What I mean is that now I need to manually

sudo pulseaudio --system

The only workaround that I thought of would be to append it in the startup application of xfce,
but it doesn't start. Of course I've put nopasswd in /etc/sudoers for pulseaudio.
If someone will be kind to help me in this last part I will be able to modify the wiki page, thank you!

What about starting pulseaudio as deamon (eg. with a .service file)?
