PulseAudio creates /.pulse and /.pulse-cookie after reboot.
After googling I found this one:http://pulseaudio.org/ticket/315, but this bug for old pulseaudio.

I have media-sound/pulseaudio-2.1-r1 installed. I try using older version of pulseaudio like 2.0 and 1.1 but It can't help me.

Removing config files for pulseaudio and reemerging pulseaudio doesn't help me.

i have no clue. but i can confirm this issue. i have installed media-sound/pulseaudio-2.1-r1 with USE="X alsa asyncns caps dbus gdbm glib gtk ipv6 orc ssl tcpd udev webrtc-aec". besides, sound is working great for my single-user system.

anyone else?

We all know that pulseaudio is "linux audio done right" (like systemd is "linux init done right" or dbus is "linux IPC done right").
And in the past pulseaudio devs often stated that problems with pulseaudio are due to bad integration by distributions. So removing the pulseaudio bug tracker was the only logical step.

FYI:

so i looked at the gentoo bug tracker. i found this unconfirmed bug:

https://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=438844

i will test the patch as soon as i can spare some time.

edit1: removing alsasound from boot runlevel at least does not create the files under /, but in /root/ instead.

You can find this site in http://web.archive.org/web/20081006093700/http://pulseaudio.org/ticket/315

I found similar bug at new home of pulseaudio bugtracker https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=48226

All of these bugs are marked as fixed. But right now pulseaudio creates .config at root directory not root home directory since pulseaudio-3. But It doesn't create /.pulse and /.pulse-cookie.

Are you trying this patch with pulseaudio-4?

Change this file /etc/conf.d/alsasound to
Code:
# RESTORE_ON_START:
# Do you want to restore your mixer settings?  If not, your cards will be
# muted.
# no - Do not restore state
# yes - Restore state

RESTORE_ON_START="no"

# SAVE_ON_STOP:
# Do you want to save changes made to your mixer volumes when alsasound
# stops?
# no - Do not save state
# yes - Save state

SAVE_ON_STOP="no"


And after boot I don't have /.pulse directory. Pulseaudio restores volume state independently.
