subject: pulseaudio dwm or xinit

Does anyone know how to make pulseaudio work with just a simple xinit. 

I've looked around for awhile but I can't seem to get pulseaudio server to
produce sound when I simply run:
	xinit -maximized -bg black -fg lightblue -cr red
I see it runing via ps -aux|grep audio, but I can't make sound come out of
speakers.

Now if I run it under xfce4 desktop manager it knows what hardware to connect
to. 

I just like dwm or i3 better because they are clean and not resource intensive.

So if I can get pulseaudio to run under a simple xinit, ... then I can enjoy
computing even more! :)
