I wanted to try your suggestion, and discovered I had no pulseaudio
running. I edited /etc/pulse/client.conf, and then:

{lestat}~# pulseaudio -k
E: main.c: Failed to kill daemon: No such process
{lestat}~> ps -ef | grep pulse
dave     19336  5056  0 14:18 pts/1    00:00:00 grep pulse

Then I started pulseaudio (as root) and the leakage in polkitd stopped.
polkitd is currently sleeping in poll() and isn't doing anything.

However, I don't know why pulseaudio wasn't started by default.
