I had to backport alsa-lib and alsa-utils to wheezy in order
to verify that, because I don't have any systems running a
more recent versions of debian right now, even if the check
is really trivial -

 rm -rf ~/.pulse* && /etc/init.d/alsa-utils start

(as root) - if this creates ~/.pulse that means it is still
buggy.

And nope, the prob didn't go away, not at all, it is still
tries to create stuff either in /.pulse* or /root/.pulse*
exactly the same way as before.

(btw. alsa-lib has a bug as it can't be rebuilt because of
insufficient work for `debian/rules clean' -- there are lots
of .png files being changed in doc/doxygen/ directory).

Thanks,
