Comment(by jezaustin):

 Actually no time to test with a vanilla kernel until January, but anyway I
 don't think it's important.
 When I have time, I'll check with an IPv6-enabled kernel. I suspect that
 pulseaudio is not learning about an error from asyncns (namely "Address
 family not supported by protocol") until the timeout finishes, but it can
 receive a "Connection refused" message in a timely fashion.
 I think that ignoring an error until a timeout is reached is a bug. It may
 also be a bug for asyncns to even attempt a tcp6 connection in an
 environment without IPv6.
