 From  http://wiki.laptop.org/go/PulseAudio I've added:

load-module module-native-protocol-tcp auth-anonymous=1

to /etc/pulse/default.pa

I've checked everything in the paprefs dialog.

Still no joy.

Even pactl fails:

pactl stat
Connection failure: Connection refused
pa_context_connect() failed: Connection refused

systemlog doesn't show anything when I run paplay. There are some log 
messages, but seem unrelated:

selinux is permissive.

I've tried to get on the pulseaudio list, but it seems they're not 
acting on subscriptions, so any help appreciated.
