Comment (by coling):

 Incidentally I seem to be able to replicate this simply by running
 {{{pulseaudio}}} as root under a {{{su}}} session:
 {{{
 [colin at jimmy pulseaudio]$ ll -d /tmp/pulse-colin
 drwx------ 2 colin colin 4096 2008-01-12 11:38 /tmp/pulse-colin/
 [colin at jimmy pulseaudio]$ su
 Password:
 [root at jimmy pulseaudio]# pulseaudio
 W: main.c: This program is not intended to be run as root (unless --system
 is specified).
 E: pid.c: Daemon already running.
 E: main.c: pa_pid_file_create() failed.
 [root at jimmy pulseaudio]# ll -d /tmp/pulse-colin
 drwx------ 2 root root 4096 2008-01-12 11:38 /tmp/pulse-colin/
 }}}

 So the whole autospawn thing is not specific to this problem but it
 clearly makes it more likely to happen automatically.

 NB passing -vvv didn't give any more useful info in the output.
