My understanding is that we don't use the system-wide daemon even on fresh installs, because running per-user daemons offers less of a security target (among other things) and works just as well or better. My system is far from a vanilla dist-upgrade, but I believe that System->Preferences->Sound->Sounds->Enable Software Mixing is the button you want to press. Assuming the pulseaudio ESD bridge is installed as a part of the upgrade (I believe it is), that will get gnome-session to start pulseaudio on login.
