<pre>I installed the rest of pulseaudio on my Arch laptop to test this further.
$ pacman -Q pulseaudio pulseaudio-alsa libpulse paprefs pavucontrol
pulseaudio 4.0-6
pulseaudio-alsa 2-2
libpulse 4.0-6
paprefs 0.9.10-2
pavucontrol 2.0-2
After doing this, I found that simply launching pavucontrol will demonstrate
the problem. PULSE_COOKIE is still set, but two cookies are created.
$ echo ${PULSE_COOKIE}
/home/carl/.xdg/config/pulse/cookie
$ ls -l ~/.{xdg/,}config/pulse/cookie
ls: cannot access /home/carl/.xdg/config/pulse/cookie: No such file or
directory
ls: cannot access /home/carl/.config/pulse/cookie: No such file or directory
$ pavucontrol &> /dev/null &
[1] 1075
$ ls -l ~/.{xdg/,}config/pulse/cookie
-rw------- 1 carl carl 256 Feb 20 22:05 /home/carl/.config/pulse/cookie
