Invalid log target: use either 'syslog', 'journal','stderr' or 'auto' or a valid file name 'file:<path>', 'newfile:<path>'.

OK, so you are running PA in system mode. Please note that you most likely shouldn't be doing that. If you do it nonetheless then it's your own fault if things don't work as expected. Please read http://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/Software/PulseAudio/Documentation/User/WhatIsWrongWithSystemWide/ for an explanation why system mode is usually a bad idea.
