I'm fixing this, see https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=707703 for a small discussion. With the fix, when the pulseaudio package is installed/updated, relevant configuration files are updated based on the PULSEAUDIO_ENABLE setting.
On the one hand people are complaining about SuSEconfig and we try to get rid of it. On the other hand we introduce scripts like pulseaudio-setup that are even worse. IMO that script needs to be removed. Instead the apps it tries to configure must be patched to probe for PA (ie without autospawn) and use it when available. That way applications started in a PA enabled session use PA but when started in a session without PA transparently fall back to alsa/OSS. That's how e.g. openal-soft behaves.
FYI, I implemented it for alsa-lib pulse plugin. Now it falls back to the system-default (e.g. dmix) when the connection to PA failed. The feature is included now in OBS multimedia:libs/alsa and alsa-plugins. Once after some tests, I'll submit to FACTORY.
