Comment (by coling):

 Lennart,

 Good catch. However I think there is still a (small) bug in the patch that
 was submitted to Fedora.

 http://cvs.fedoraproject.org/viewvc/rpms/pulseaudio/F-9/pulseaudio-0.9.10
 -lock-file.patch?revision=1.1&view=markup

 I also applied this patch in Mandriva but noticed that if I try and start
 another pulse process it does not quit after saying "Daemon already
 running". It tries to continue and bails out later on. This is due to the
 return value of 1 (as opposed to -1) now present in pa_pid_file_create().

 I patched over the top of this patch here: http://svn.mandriva.com/cgi-
 bin/viewvc.cgi/packages/cooker/pulseaudio/current/SOURCES/0508-Fix-errors-
 in-pid-file-robustneness-patch.patch?revision=289064&view=markup

 Hopefully it is useful to you.
