Tom,

You could try *not having pulseaudio installed.  I finally gave up on pulseaudio and run as close to a  strict alsa setup as I can
and don't have many of the issues that I once had.  My installed "audio" rpms are:

pulseaudio-libs-glib2-5.0-3.fc21.x86_64
pulseaudio-libs-5.0-3.fc21.x86_64
pulseaudio-libs-devel-5.0-3.fc21.x86_64

python-alsa-1.0.26-3.fc20.x86_64
alsa-utils-1.0.27.2-5.fc21.x86_64
alsa-lib-devel-1.0.27.2-2.fc21.x86_64
alsa-oss-1.0.17-9.fc20.x86_64
alsa-oss-libs-1.0.17-9.fc20.x86_64
alsamixergui-0.9.0-0.16.rc2.fc20.x86_64
alsa-lib-1.0.27.2-2.fc21.x86_64
alsa-firmware-1.0.27-2.fc20.noarch
alsa-tools-firmware-1.0.27-3.fc21.x86_64
alsa-lib-debuginfo-1.0.27.2-2.fc21.x86_64
alsa-tools-1.0.27-3.fc21.x86_64

And I've only got the pulseaudio-libs stuff installed because of dependencies from other packages.

The tt (and the liked lkml thread) describes a simpler solution.

The issue appears to be not with pulseaudio per se, but with the handling of USB audio devices.

Since my only USB audio device is a Logiteck webcam (per the ticket), all I had to do is unplug it and the system now boots to gdm/Gnome just fine.
