I think that is a more logical place. Also, it has a higher chance of
reaching upstream (as the pulse default is a debianism).

I have also a question. in pulse.conf:

# Enable PulseAudio hook if PULSE_ALSA_HOOK_CONF is not set.

I'm fairly ignorant on this format, but what this really does is load
the file described in PULSE_ALSA_HOOK_CONF, and default to the known
location?
