firstly startx from pulseaudio info file
ahhh, I see. What our maintainer is saying is you are outside X or graphical system and you startx
somehow you added startx to the X.d file
pls confirm your contents are now as per last command for cat .X.d/dbus
2) I like images, I gather you have no sound?
what happens when you run from a terminal
pulseaudio -v
3) index, I did but I think we can get pulseaudio (PA) to play ball.
4) I assume you know that when are playing a sound file those long bars are a sound volume bar
eg playback tab...png ending in 45 is empty while my wiki image shows a snapshot of a moving bar
5) what kind of sound file were you playing?
I don't have hdmi, but if you look at your output tab, you have not clicked for mpeg
