Given that the three notices and the warning are not fatal, you should start pulseaudio from the command line as a normal user withouth the -D switch. This will print the errors on screen instead of putting them in the syslog, and you'll be able to understand what's going on. Post here after that, so I know if I can close the bug or not.
As a side note, the current pulseaudio package (which should be updated soon, it still has a couple of showstoppers) creates the 'realtime' group, not 'pulse-rt', so if you want realtime capabilities you should create the pulse-rt group and add your user to it.

Note for dolby: pulseaudio is in [community], not [extra] :) Jan should have moved it a long time ago, but evidently he wasn't able to.
