        <pre>After booting pavucontrol works just fine, but if I try to start it a little
later it just says "Establishing connection to PulseAudio. Please wait..."
running "pactl stat" in terminal just returns: "Connection failure: Protocol
error"

Pulseaudio version is 7.0-1 and pavucontrol version is 3.0-1. I've only
recently been affected by this problem, so I'm guessing it might have been
introduced with the latest update.

This is the log of it happening:

The last part of the log where everything keeps repeating was the exact moment
I started pavucontrol and it was trying to establish the connection to
pulseaudio.</pre>
