Comment(by Rudd-O):

 "Yet again, (hopefully it's sinking in). the system wide client.conf is
 not for policy!!! It's just a fallback if the user does not have their
 own."

 1. the library has fallbacks compiled in, and client.conf ships entirely
 commented.  If the user does not have their own and the system-wide
 client.conf file is absent, pulseaudio works fine.

 2. client.conf, a file that is installed mode 644 in a root-owned
 directory, owned by root, and whose configuration stanzas are applied
 system-wide, is *not for system-wide policy*?  Are you serious?
