Hi,
It seems like it is some sort of permission error. Have you tried launching it as root or with sudo?
Where do you launch it? In xinitrc, or somewhere else?

Pardon if I am not being conformant to any standards of querying, this is my first time on an Arch Forum. Am a newbie.
I get exactly the same error as crunchiebones. I am on a barebone arch, no GNOME.
Have tried the Troubleshooting on Wiki page,
Resetting PulseAudio: Not working
Other utitlities : pulseaudio -vvvv throws the same error messages reported by crunchiebones above.
Could I have some clue as to how to go around? This thread seems still open. Any help is really appreciated!

Run
systemctl enable --user pulseaudio.service
And
systemctl enable --user pulseaudio.socket

Please do not necrobump 4 year old threads, should above advice not be sufficient make your own thread including details of how your system is set up.
