Comment 1 Tanu Kaskinen 2016-08-20 15:42:01 UTC

    authkey.c: Failed to open cookie file '/root/.config/pulse/cookie':
        No such file or directory
    authkey.c: Failed to load authentication key '/root/.config/pulse/cookie':
        No such file or directory
    authkey.c: Failed to open cookie file '/root/.pulse-cookie':
        No such file or directory

The cookie errors are generally harmless. However, this shows that you're trying to run pulseaudio as root. That's a bad idea, unless there are no real users on the system.

    pid.c: Daemon already running.

That means that something tried to start pulseaudio when pulseaudio was already running.

    socket-server.c: bind(): Address already in use
    module.c: Failed to load module "module-esound-protocol-unix" (argument: ""): initialization failed.

That means that the esound socket is already reserved when pulseaudio tries to start listening on it. Probably another pulseaudio instance is running and has reserved it. Assuming that you don't have any esound applications, you can remove the esound module from /etc/pulse/default.pa.

    client-conf-x11.c: xcb_connection_has_error() returned true

DISPLAY is set, but connecting to X11 fails. This is not a serious problem in itself, but indicates that something is weird on your system.

Comment 2 Yousha Aleayoub 2016-08-20 21:52:43 UTC

IK what does those messages mean, but it happened in a FRESH system! 
specially "Daemon already running." and "Module load failed."

Comment 3 Tanu Kaskinen 2016-08-21 00:47:22 UTC

So none of this is a result of your own actions, this stuff just appears in the log without you doing anything?

It seems that Slackware sets allow-autospawn-for-root in /etc/pulse/client.conf. It shouldn't do that. That option (which is not even included in upstream, the patch originates from OpenEmbedded) is only safe to use when root is the only user. Try disabling that option.
