There are multiple problems currently tracked - the OP wants to use pulseaudio, but his workaround is to "Sleep until pulseaudio is up and running" ... which is nonsense as systemd is quite capable of waiting for services and xbmc is also able to reenumerate device for pulseaudio when they appear.
As said before, this issue is solely an arch problem of not getting the systemd service dependencies together. There is absolutely nothing to fix on the xbmc side.
So there is a question that I have...
why GNOME, KDE and other DE are capable to use pulaseaudio without sleeping?

Cause they get started correctly. your xbmc-standalone script does not care about anything, it just sleeps a bit which is not enough.
Start xbmc through lightdm and everything will be fine.

but the upstart init file is provided by xbmc developers?

ubuntu is planning to switch to systemd (debian already switched if I remember), so in future there will be a systemd file that can work also with archlinux?
