Sorry. I didn't see the last part of the message (I saw the empty template
questions). Sorry for the blunt message.

Anyway, those directories are created when there is no runtime directory
for pulseaudio to use. That this is happening before /tmp is mounted, it
means that something is trying to use pulseaudio that early during boot.
That then it is created again, means some other user (or your own user, but
in an unclean environment) is trying to use pulseaudio.

Who owns that directory? Do you have logs that may show who is creating
that?
