I found if I do
pulseaudio -k
pulseaudio -D
then pulseaudio is back in settings/multimedia and seems to work. Must be
some startup problem.
I think a bug report needs filing. Mine is the i686 version, and the same
thing happened here. I've checked that I'm using 4.4.0-3 on F12. I also
found that those two commands cured it. If you file a report, please give us
the number so that I can confirm that i686 is also affected.
