And I have it set up per the instructions on medibuntu. Turns out it's
not a package that is installable on 64 bit hardware which is what I
have. My bad, I thought I had both installed because I have ia32-libs
installed for 32 bit compatibility.

It was just never started by default, and still isn't. I discovered by
accident that I could start pulse-session as a user in a konsole, and
then it runs pulseaudio and I don't get complaints from programs such
as mplayer that tell me they can't connect to pulseaudio, but
otherwise play OK.
