Public bug reported:

This concerns xfce4-pulseaudio-plugin 0.4.1-0ubuntu1 in Ubuntu
18.04/bionic.

In an Xfce desktop session, when this package is installed, and
Pulseaudio is not active, I see a steady procession of these messages in
~/.xsession-errors:

--------
(wrapper-2.0:2036): pulseaudio-plugin-WARNING **: 17:00:20.688: Disconected 
from the PulseAudio server. Attempting to reconnect in 5 seconds.

--------

If the plugin is going to poll for Pulseaudio, it should print a warning
at most once. An alternative reasonable behavior could be to exit
altogether (since a PA volume control is useless without PA).
