Comment (by perceptron):

 Ok, I've managed to get sound running in Tor-Browser.
 It works ok if Pulseaudio is started in system mode.

 Also I've found more precise problem analysis and its bypass in defect
 [https://trac.torproject.org/projects/tor/ticket/29360/ 29360].

 Pulseaudio in user mode prevents connection from Tor-Browser as its have
 wrong auth-cookie.
 Copying or creating a symlink to the proper ".esd_auth" from user's $HOME
 allows Browser to use sound server.
