Public bug reported:
Using inotifywait I can see that Pulseaudio makes no attempt whatsoever
to even check if ~/.config/pulse/client.conf exists, so anything you put
in there is completely ignored.
The man page claims that this should not be the case:
“If the per-user file ~/.config/pulse/client.conf exists, it is
used”
$ cat ~/.config/pulse/client.conf
auto-connect-localhost=yes
$ pacmd dump
