I would guess that in the first case you have write access to the
display and in the second you don't. In any case, if you run
pulseaudio as a service you want to disable x11. The simplest way to
do this is to remove the pulseaudio-module-x11 rpm.

I seem to stay confused. /etc/init.d/pulseaudio start and
service pulseaudio start
are equivalent.
What do you mean by disabling x11. Do you think that the OP was running
these commands at run level 3?
