It may be obvious to some, but to newcomers it > could be helpful adding a line or two of explanation for that). Thanks for the suggestion, I now added a short explanation of the cookie file.

Apparently (I got this from some guy on IRC), pulseaudio uses > some environment vars to determine it ends up in /run/user/1000 or something? It doesn't end up in the runtime directory (/run/user/1000), it ends up in the configuration directory (~/.config/pulse) and the default file name is now "cookie". -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the QA Contact for the bug.
