Is this normal when using pulse-audio:
$ ls -l /dev/shm
total 100
-r-------- 1 facade users 67108904 May 1 10:16 pulse-shm-2730750796
-r-------- 1 facade users 67108904 May 1 10:16 pulse-shm-3048609656

Are these files actually needed for anything? If not and if there is no option to disable their creation in a conf somewhere (I found none), I added the following to my ~/.bashrc which takes care of it:
if [ ! -z $(find /dev/shm/ -maxdepth 1 -name "pulse-shm*") ]; then
for i in $(ls /dev/shm/pulse-shm*); do rm -f $i; done
fi
...is there a more efficient method?

Why remove them? As far as I can recall, SHM is so pulseaudio can do its 'zero-copy' magic entirely in RAM, otherwise it falls back to using something else (probably something slower). Not clear on the details, if you search 'zero-copy' you should find something.
