Title:
  improve feedback at failing start

Status in pulseaudio package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  Invoking `pulseaudio -D` caused the output `E: [pulseaudio] main.c:
  Daemon startup failed.`. This is unhelpful in every imaginable case
  and should be enhanced by providing the reason why the start failed in
  the output.
