Pulseaudio dropouts in Kodi only

Up to here is all I want to achieve. Can You tell me how to get there?
I successfully installed squeezelite and managed to let it use the same alsa dmix device as kodi, so they run in parallel. The problem is that squeezelite music runs too fast. It has to do with sample rates.
So, I thought, before I twiggle around with alsa, I go the recommended way of using pulse.

I installed it with

Code:

sudo apt install pulseaudio

.
Now I can start it with

Code:

pulseaudio -D

And then I can run squeezelite with

Code:

squeezelite -o pulse

using the alsa pulse input.
Same works as root:

Code:

sudo pulseaudio -D --system
sudo squeezelite -o pulse

My problems:
What's the right way of starting pulse on boot?
xbian doesn't seem to use systemd - that's the most I can find on how to autostart pulse.
And then, how can I make Kodi recognize the pulse sinks? When I start kodi after manually starting pulse, it just lists the alsa device and the internal findings, no pulse sinks.
