Bug#804120: pulseaudio: iceweasel->Tools->Add-ons ... (silence)

Package: pulseaudio
Version: 7.0-1+b1
Severity: important

I seem to have found a bug.

Here's how:

    1.) Use Debian's unstable repository

    2.) $ apt-get dist-upgrade                          # On November 4, 2015

    3.) Edit /etc/pulse/client.conf to not autospawn pulseaudio

        #; autospawn = yes
        ; autospawn = no

    4.) Reboot.

    5.) Run pulseaudio with verbose diagnostics as
        a normal user on an xterm's command line
        with

            $ pulseaudio -vvvvvvvvvv --log-time 

    6.) Launch iceweasel.

    7.) Play sound with

            $ echo "hello world" | festival --language americanenglish -b --tts

    8.) Here's where the bug happens. 
    
        Use your mouse to access iceweasel's add-on manager

            iceweasel->Tools->Add-ons

        Pulseaudio says

            ( 123.846|   5.004) I: [pulseaudio] module-suspend-on-idle.c: Sink alsa_output.pci-0000_03_05.0.analog-stereo idle for too long, suspending ...

            ( 125.622|   0.000) D: [pulseaudio] protocol-native.c: Negotiated SHM: no
            ( 125.622|   0.000) D: [pulseaudio] protocol-native.c: Disabling srbchannel, reason: No SHM support
            ( 125.624|   0.002) D: [pulseaudio] module-augment-properties.c: Looking for .desktop file for iceweasel
            ( 125.624|   0.000) D: [pulseaudio] module-augment-properties.c: Found /usr/share/applications/iceweasel.desktop.
            ( 125.624|   0.000) D: [pulseaudio] conf-parser.c: Parsing configuration file '/usr/share/applications/iceweasel.desktop'

    9.) Try to play sound again

            $ echo "hello world" | festival --language americanenglish -b --tts

        Silence!
        
        festival says

            ALSA lib pulse.c:243:(pulse_connect) PulseAudio: Unable to connect: Protocol error

            aplay: main:722: audio open error: Connection refused

I 

    a.) expected to hear festival say "hello world", and

    b.) am surprised pulseaudio's module-augment-properties.c:
        looked for a .desktop file for iceweasel.

I hope that helps,
Kingsley
