I would think that it should attach to hw:0 and not hw:1

Try to ensure that nothing has attached to hw:0 by logging out and
logging back in and then before you run anything else, open a terminal
and start pulseaudio again.

then see if it attaches to hw:0

If it does, it should be started as a daemon...I think the command
'pulseaudio --start' is from a newer version and perhaps you might need
to run 'pulseaudio -D' to get it to run as a daemon.

If it won't attach to hw:0 - I would recommend that you go through the
steps on the wiki I linked to.
