This is the log, did not alter any configuration and installed the audio-dev ppa. Ran a few tests using the sound server (started with pulseaudio --log-target=syslog -vvvv). This includes playing music with rhythmbox and using the media keys on my laptop. Pulse died once during this process and had to be started again. The media keys do not work, they seem to be recognized but do not change the volume by any noticeable amount. The buzzing sound on pulse spawn is not there anymore so that was fixed.
