Going through the Xfce application menus just now I see very little that would tell me what it is that's actually running here,  so I figure I probably need to typs something on the command line in a terminal,  but I don't know what.

In general, that message means that even if there is a copy of
the pulseaudio daemon running, it is not running with the right
userid and the X11 session you are running in doesn't know about
it.

Run "pulseaudio --start" and try again.
