Bug#703484: Pulseaudio 3.0 Stops Working With Old Config

[Tsu Jan]

Package: pulseaudio
Version: 3.0-1
Severity: normal

Dear Maintainer,

After upgrading PA to 3.0-1 from Experimental, sound was good at first
but, after a while, it stopped working (no sound at all). After reboot,
the same thing happened again. However, when I removed '~/.pulse/' and
'~/.pulse-cookie' (and the same files from the root home) everything
became OK.

So, contrary to the notes at freedesktop.org, the new PA doesn't work
with the old config files well. It would be better if the new deb
package removed the old config files both from user's home and from the
root home or, at least, gave a warning.
