I forgot to answer one of your questions - how to run Pulse Audio as a system 
daemon. Attached to this message are three files that show how I myself do it.

pulseaudio.service: A systemd service unit that I wrote for the purpose.

run: The shell script that the systemd service unit invokes.

script: The Pulse Audio script that the run script tells it to use.
