I can't find any reference to pulseaudio in any init file
Not init. You can configure it to start a systemwide server, which I
suspect is started by X.
So where does it get started?
If you are using the default Fedora setup, you have your own version of
pulse started when you log in. I notice that it also can be started by
programs that need its services, and that seems to be gconf-helper.
No representation as to validity of the above, might contain wild
supposition and unsubstantiated misinformation. If you want pulse
information, go to the horses mouth
