You need to unmask it, since its meant to be used in very specific cases only.

What do you think it will accomplish in your use? You might want to search for a setting.

Allow preparation and installation of the system-wide init script for PulseAudio. Since this support is only supported for embedded situations, do not enable without reading the upstream instructions at http://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/Software/PulseAudio/Documentation/User/WhatIsWrongWithSystemWide/ .
