Bug 266180: audio/pulseaudio: PulseAudio programs fail to connect, the daemon
fails to restart
https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=266180



--- Description ---
When I start XFCE4 PulseAudio also starts.

But paplay fails to connect to it:
> $ paplay x.wav
> W: [(null)] caps.c: Normally all extra capabilities would be dropped now, but
that's impossible because PulseAudio was built without capabilities support.
> Connection failure: Connection refused
> pa_context_connect() failed: Connection refused

'pulseaudio -k' fails to kill the daemon:
> $ pulseaudio -k
> W: [(null)] caps.c: Normally all extra capabilities would be dropped now, but
that's impossible because PulseAudio was built without capabilities support.
> E: [(null)] main.c: Failed to kill daemon: No such process


Something is wrong with PulseAudio.
