Comment(by coling):
Actually, Unix sockets in $TMPDIR IIRC, falling back to /tmp if $TMPDIR is
not set.
As a workaround, create some loopback file of a few megs (16 or so is
ample) and mount it as ~/.pulse prior to starting pulseaudio.
Just do something like:
{{{
dd if=/dev/zero of=$HOME/posix.img bs=1M count=16
mke2fs -F $HOME/posix.img
sudo mount -o loop $HOME/posix.img $HOME/.pulse
}}}
You'll have to do some trickery to make this work properly but it should
allow things to work provided $TMPDIR is set to a location that allows
sockets...
