   IIRC pulseaudio runs under the user itself, not as a system service.   
   pulseaudio --check should return $?=0.   
      
   I am currently not sitting at my Slackware system, so I can't check,   
   but I have running Pulseaudio in 15.0 and current.   
      
   Check pavucontrol. It must show outputs etc. and it must show the   
   applications playing sound.

   Why on hell are you doing this?   
      
   Such applications are meant to run with normal user privileges and some   
   applications refuse to run under root.   
      
   Try with a regular user.
