... except your local console user, which gets the permissions using the
POSIX ACL feature.

The '+' here means some ACLs are set. Try:
getfacl /dev/snd/*


PulseAudio is only SUID root to allow it to use real-time priority for users
in the pulsert group or with real-time priority allowed through PolicyKit.
It does not use the root privileges to access sound devices, it accesses
them as your regular user.

I think you're barking up the wrong tree.
