one trap to watch out for is the audio device enables. i have audio engine speakers and for some reason they were always disabled on boot. i had to add:
set-default-sink 2
set-default-sink alsa_output.usb-Audioengine_Audioengine_2_-00-A2.analog-stereo
to my /etc/pulse/default.pa file, and it was a royal pain in the neck to figure out that i needed to do that.
just letting you know in case things seem to break on reboot.
