Comment(by coling):

 Actually, Unix sockets in $TMPDIR IIRC, falling back to /tmp if $TMPDIR is
 not set.

 As a workaround, create some loopback file of a few megs (16 or so is
 ample) and mount it as ~/.pulse prior to starting pulseaudio.

 Just do something like:
 {{{
 dd if=/dev/zero of=$HOME/posix.img bs=1M count=16
 mke2fs -F $HOME/posix.img
 sudo mount -o loop $HOME/posix.img $HOME/.pulse
 }}}

 You'll have to do some trickery to make this work properly but it should
 allow things to work provided $TMPDIR is set to a location that allows
 sockets...
