--- Comment #1 from Tanu Kaskinen <tanuk at iki.fi> ---
If you know the basics of using git, then this page should allow you to submit
the patch "the correct way":
http://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/Software/PulseAudio/HowToUseGitSendEmail/

However, the patch is simple enough for me (or someone else) to apply manually,
so formatting issues aren't a problem. A bigger problem may be that some of the
maintainers has to find the time to figure out the security implications of the
patch. If I recall correctly, the "secure directory creation" is a complex area
with plenty of room for subtle security bugs.

The patch has now been added to
http://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/Software/PulseAudio/Documentation/User/Software/PulseAudio/PatchStatus/
so it won't be forgotten.
