What? Not at all. You just need to make sure you have alsa installed successfully.
Do you have to do what GNUser said to make Firefox or any other application sound?

[split from solved topic]

Did you read the pulseaudio info file?

Bro, pulseaudio is very easy to setup when you read the info file with care. You don't even have to deal with the complex process of setting up alsa. Can you please check if you have files named "pulseaudio" and "dbus" in /home/tc/.X.d ?
If they exist, please say their contents in your next post.

OK. According to info file (in clean installation)
http://tinycorelinux.net/11.x/x86/tcz/pulseaudio.tcz.info
I have to run dbus
I have to exit to console
Back to startx
And then run pulseaudio -vv

Why this can't be done automatically?

If you start the pavucontrol extension it will be done automatically

Sometimes "pulseaudio -vv" gives error. We humans need to troubleshoot it as the PC cannot solve it automatically.

Is it possible to create metaextension like pulseaudio-all or pulseaudio-autostart or at least put this information to info file?

Sure, just to see if it's necessary. You can write a script, make it an extension, and add it to the onboot.lst But I think it is easier to use script in this case.
