In essence, without making these local (per-user) additions to the java
security policy within my account, an applet will not have permission to
load the pulseaudio library or read the actual file containing the
library.

This is not in a packaged file because I did not research where it
should go and that decision has repercussions for the security of the
system.

This ticket encompasses two different issues:

A) libpulse-java.so is in the wrong place, which will break all java 
applications that wish to use pulseaudio.
B) Java applets do not have permission to load native pulseaudio libraries and 
therefore will not be able to play audio

These issues are distinct from each other and perhaps should have been
reported separately. I found them together after a fair bit of work and
dumped everything here.
