Comment(by jezaustin):

 At the time of the hang, I think the other threads have finished already.
 There are no other processes.

 Consider testing for system support of tcp6 before doing pulse/context.c
 line 1000:
 {{{
 c->server_list = pa_strlist_prepend(c->server_list, "tcp6:[::1]");
 }}}
 although, this would not fix the more general problem which might exist,
 where pulse needlessly waits for its timeout whenever libasyncns returns
 an error instead of "Connection refused".
