Public bug reported:

# Issue

- pulseaudio error message contains unnecessarily offensive content

- expletive used in error message does not add value

# Environment

- natty

- pulseaudio 1:0.9.22+stable-queue-24-g67d18-0ubuntu3.

The following error message from pulseaudio-0.9.22+stable-
queue-24-g67d18/src/daemon/main.c should be changed to something that is
less gratuitously offensive.

%s", error.name, error.message);
