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.
