Comment 2 for bug 330766

running pulseaudio without any arguments (if no pulseaudio is currently running):

W: main.c: High-priority scheduling enabled in configuration but not allowed by policy.
pa_make_secure_dir: dir: /home/mario/.pulse, mode: 0700, uid: -1, gid: -1
E: core-util.c: Failed to create secure directory: Permission denied
Exit 1

running pulseaudio --start instead:

W: main.c: High-priority scheduling enabled in configuration but not allowed by policy.
pa_make_secure_dir: dir: /home/mario/.pulse, mode: 0700, uid: -1, gid: -1
E: core-util.c: Failed to create secure directory: Permission denied
W: lock-autospawn.c: Cannot access autospawn lock.

does not terminate, but --start shall imply --daemonize according to the documentation.
