--- Comment #12 from Tanu Kaskinen <tanuk at iki.fi> ---
No pulseaudio shm files at all... Apparently the server is then failing to
create those. The server log doesn't have any errors about that, though, but I
guess that's kind of expected, since if the server detected errors, it wouldn't
pretend to the client that shm is working...

But after looking at the code, it looks like there's no way that could happen.
We see "Enabling srbchannel..." messages in the log, and that message won't be
logged if core->rw_mempool is NULL, and if it's not NULL, then I don't see any
way how creating the shm file could have failed.

Can you double-check that PulseAudio is running for your user while you run "ls
-l /dev/shm"? There should be at least one file named pulse-shm-XXX (where XXX
is some random number).

Also, after reboot, while PulseAudio still works, does /dev/shm have any files
named pulse-shm-XXX? Maybe something is wiping the files after a while...
