  Maybe, the pulseaudio is misconfigured. But I couldn't find any
CPV useful information on
  how to generate the run-time file /.pulse in the configuration

  Do you know how to generate them?

CPV Could you do:

CPV $ ps aux | grep pulse

Thanks again. My result is as follows:

$ ps aux | grep pulse
easior2989  0.0  0.6 100052  5472 ?Sl   15:47   0:00

CPV In my system, the result is:

CPV canek  752  0.0  0.1 320096  4164 ?Sl   May27   0:03
CPV /usr/bin/pulseaudio --start --log-target=syslog

CPV which means that the PulseAudio daemon is running as my user (canek).
CPV To write into /, the daemon should be running as root; if the result
CPV from ps aux shows that, it means that your system is starting
CPV pulseaudio as the superuser.

I think that the runtime files should be in the /var/somewhere or /root/ even 
if the
pulseaudio is been running as the superuser. Do you?

I suppose, but your system is doing really weird stuff: running
pulseaudio as user and writing to /  should be, at least
theoretically, impossible. PulseAudio is not setuid'. You could check
proc to see if it's actually PA writing to /; for example, I have

$ ps aux | grep pulse
canek  752  0.0  0.1 320356  5624 ?Sl   May27   2:52
/usr/bin/pulseaudio --start --log-target=syslog
canek  755  0.0  0.0 19032820 ?Sl   May27   0:00
/usr/libexec/pulse/gconf-helper

So I do

$ ls -l /proc/752/fd/
total 0
lr-x-- 1 canek canek 64 May 30 20:39 0 - /dev/null
l-wx-- 1 canek canek 64 May 30 20:39 1 - /dev/null
lrwx-- 1 canek canek 64 May 30 20:39 10 -
/home/canek/.pulse/a8880ec371495fe2255463514a0d14e8-device-volumes.x86_64-pc-linux-gnu.gdbm
lrwx-- 1 canek canek 64 May 30 20:39 11 -
/home/canek/.pulse/a8880ec371495fe2255463514a0d14e8-stream-volumes.x86_64-pc-linux-gnu.gdbm

/home/canek/.pulse/a8880ec371495fe2255463514a0d14e8-card-database.x86_64-pc-linux-gnu.gdbm

So I can see that my PA process has opened files on /home/canek/.pulse/.

However, I guess that will only confirm that your PA process is
opening files in /. So this I would do (as root):

1. Backup any pulse file in /etc:

   $ tar zcvf /root/pulse-conf-bak.tar.gz $(find /etc -iname *pulse*)

   In my system, there are only 4 PulseAudio files in /etc:

   $ find /etc -iname *pulse*
/etc/pulse
/etc/xdg/autostart/pulseaudio-kde.desktop
/etc/xdg/autostart/pulseaudio.desktop
/etc/dbus-1/system.d/pulseaudio-system.conf

2. Uninstall pulse:

   $ emerge -C pulseaudio

3. Remove every single file in /etc that looks related to pulse (check
before that nothing else is getting in the list):

   $ find /etc -iname *pulse*
   # If everything seems safe to delete, then
   $ rm -rf $(find /etc -iname *pulse*)

4. Emerge PA again:

   $ emerge -1v pulseaudio

5. Delete /.pulse and all its files.

6. Reboot.

If after all this you are still getting the .pulse directory in /,
then I have no idea how is getting in there.

Regards.

Maybe it isn't the reboot that's triggering it. In my crontab, I have,

  HOME=/

Maybe a cron job (running as root) is triggering the creation in $HOME,
which is temporarily set to / ?

Ack! I have them too! 

Infected by pulseaudio again... and I'm using xfce, not gnome.

I don't have a solution yet, but I'll also look into it.

 $ ls -a
 .    boot  home        media  opt     .pulse-cookie  sbin  usr
 ..   dev   lib         mnt    proc    root           sys   var
 bin  etc   lost+found  null   .pulse  run            tmp

 As to my experience, .pulse and .pulse-cookie should be in the $HOME 
 directory. How to
 resovle this problem?

Delete them. Look at the date, they probably got created a long time
ago under weird circumstances (perhaps booting using a livecd), and
they remained there.

Just delete them.

Regards.
