Bug#1017800: pulseaudio: Reflect Debian default of 'autospawn = no' in commented client.conf

Package: pulseaudio
Version: 14.2-2
Severity: minor
X-Debbugs-Cc: pmcoulthard at gmail.com
Debian patches the defualt behavior of the PulseAudio client to disable
autospawning the PulseAudio daemon. However the commented line in
/etc/pulseaudio/client.conf does not reflect this Debian deviation from
the upstream default:
; autospawn = yes
Similarly, README.Debian could use some attention:
- It references setting 'autospawn = no', despite it now being the default.
- It references a now non-existant /etc/default/pulseaudio
Thanks!
