            Bug ID: 75006
                CC: lennart at poettering.net
          Assignee: pulseaudio-bugs at lists.freedesktop.org
           Summary: PULSE_COOKIE is not always used
        QA Contact: pulseaudio-bugs at lists.freedesktop.org
          Severity: normal
    Classification: Unclassified
                OS: Linux (All)
          Reporter: carl at carlgeorge.us
          Hardware: x86-64 (AMD64)
            Status: NEW
           Version: unspecified
         Component: core
           Product: PulseAudio

I want to move ~/.config/pulse/cookie to ~/.xdg/config/pulse/cookie.  I tried
setting the environment variable PULSE_COOKIE, but the original file keeps
getting created.  I looked through the source code, and saw this line.

$ grep \.config src/pulsecore/native-common.h
#define PA_NATIVE_COOKIE_FILE ".config/pulse/cookie"

Is this a hard coded variable?  I would expect that setting the PULSE_COOKIE
variable would allow me to prevent the first file from getting created.  I do
not have all of pulseaudio installed, just libpulse as a dependency of other
packages.

$ pacman -Q libpulse
libpulse 4.0-6
