Could you do:
$ ps aux | grep pulse
In my system, the result is:
canek 752 0.0 0.1 320096 4164 ? Sl May27 0:03
/usr/bin/pulseaudio --start --log-target=syslog
which means that the PulseAudio daemon is running as my user (canek).
To write into /, the daemon should be running as root; if the result
from "ps aux" shows that, it means that your system is starting
pulseaudio as the superuser.
Regards.
