This is no duplicate and no race condition, at all. In addition to points 1-2
by Josh Smith, I'd like to add:
3) if ~/.pulse is a symlink, pulseaudio fails to start although the target
directory's permissions are correct
# ls -ld .pulse ../mario-sync/.pulse/
lrwxrwxrwx 1 mario mario 20 2008-10-10 16:53 .pulse -> ../mario-sync/.pulse
drwx------ 2 mario mario 4096 2008-10-10 16:53 /home/mario-sync/.pulse
the problem lies in pulsecore/core-util.c, function pa_make_secure_dir
line 206 and following:
#ifdef HAVE_LSTAT
if (lstat(dir, &st) < 0)
#else
if (stat(dir, &st) < 0)
#endif
goto fail;
#ifndef OS_IS_WIN32
if (!S_ISDIR(st.st_mode) ||
(st.st_uid != uid) ||
(st.st_gid != gid) ||
((st.st_mode & 0777) != m)) {
errno = EACCES;
goto fail;
}
#else
pa_log_warn("Secure directory creation not supported on Win32.");
#endif
Since we are compiling for linux, 'lstat' is available. But pulseaudio
should have used 'stat' instead, because in contrast to 'stat', 'lstat'
returns the symlink's permissions (lrwxrwxrwx), not those of the target
directory (drwx------).
