        <pre>I want to move ~/.config/pulse/cookie to ~/.xdg/config/pulse/cookie.  I tried
setting the environment variable PULSE_COOKIE, but the original file keeps
getting created.  I looked through the source code, and saw this line.

$ grep \.config src/pulsecore/native-common.h
#define PA_NATIVE_COOKIE_FILE ".config/pulse/cookie"

Is this a hard coded variable?  I would expect that setting the PULSE_COOKIE
variable would allow me to prevent the first file from getting created.  I do
not have all of pulseaudio installed, just libpulse as a dependency of other
packages.

$ pacman -Q libpulse
libpulse 4.0-6</pre>
