Comment:

 While I do think that the XDG spec should be respected, I think that
 XDG_CONFIG_HOME is more appropriate. The state tables are the result of
 some configuration action from the user (e.g. moving streams to another
 sink) so they should be considered configuration, as it is not terribly
 bad when that files dissapear, just a bit annoying. The XDG_DATA_HOME dir
 is meant for user files which must be backupped securely, as the user will
 be pissed when those files are missing.
