Bug#606271: When IPv6 is off, pulseaudio hangs for 5 secs on pa_context_connect

[Oren Held]

Package: pulseaudio
Version: 0.9.21-3+b1
Severity: important

This problem was reported several times as an application bug (#558343,
#564864), but it's in fact a Pulseaudio bug, which was already found &
fixed in upstream, 0.9.22:
- ticket: http://pulseaudio.org/ticket/752
- patch: http://pulseaudio.org/attachment/ticket/752/pulseaudio.patch

I believe that we should backport the patch to squeeze (patch looks
simple enough).

Additional reports from other projects:
- http://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=25742
- https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=533470
- https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=546956
