#752: asyncns timeout causes delay when pulseaudio service not running

Comment(by jezaustin):
Actually no time to test with a vanilla kernel until January, but anyway I
don't think it's important.
When I have time, I'll check with an IPv6-enabled kernel. I suspect that
pulseaudio is not learning about an error from asyncns (namely "Address
family not supported by protocol") until the timeout finishes, but it can
receive a "Connection refused" message in a timely fashion.
I think that ignoring an error until a timeout is reached is a bug. It may
also be a bug for asyncns to even attempt a tcp6 connection in an
environment without IPv6.
