running pulseaudio under root and then using paplay to play a sound file works. Seems to be some kind of permission change somewhere preventing normal pulseaudio users from accessing the sound cards.

To test this yourself run:

sudo -i
pulseaudio &
paplay /usr/share/sounds/question.wav

You should hear a sound.
