@alberto:  so audio is considered to be non-essential in a consumer
computer???     I could see that being the case for servers, but
computers with gui interfaces ought to consider audio to be essential to
that experience, see for instance PC-98 spec.


I did eventually find a work-around for this problem.  After I login, if I restart Pulse Audio then it works....

So this is likely to be either a race condition or a permissions
problem.

Title:
  Can't connect to PulseAudio server

Status in “pulseaudio” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  
  1) Install  Ubuntustudio 64 bit  14.04  Beta 1 (Alpha)  Feb 24
  2) reboot etc

  result:  Sound system works properly

  3) Install all the latest updates as of Mar 14,  3.13.0-17-lowlatency kernel
  4) reboot etc

  result:  Sound System no longer works
  anything that tries to connect to the PulseAudio server, including the Volume Contol, hangs...

  Expected:  PulseAudio should still work after the update

  Note: JACK is still usable.
