Pulse and systemd need a dbus session, and `su` will not get you
that. If you want to use either, you need to ensure that you're
properly logged in as the user, or configure your system to set up
the dbus session accordingly.
An easy way to do this is to use `ssh` with X-forwarding:
```
ssh -X u@localhost
```
and then try it again.
If that doesn't work, confirm that "u" can use Pulse when logged in
with a regular desktop session, i.e. at the graphical login screen.
Hope this helps,
