            Bug ID: 105857
           Summary: Autospawn fails on macOS 10.13 (High Sierra)
           Product: PulseAudio
           Version: unspecified
          Hardware: Other
                OS: Mac OS X (All)
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: medium
         Component: daemon
          Assignee: pulseaudio-bugs at lists.freedesktop.org
          Reporter: brackeen at gmail.com

macOS 10.13 changed some rules around forking, which causes PulseAudio's
autospawn to fail. 

Reproduction:
Assuming the daemon is not running, this will fail with "Connection refused":
$ pactl stat

Workaround: 
Set the environment variable OBJC_DISABLE_INITIALIZE_FORK_SAFETY to YES
$ export OBJC_DISABLE_INITIALIZE_FORK_SAFETY=YES
$ pactl stat

Tested with 11.1 compiled for High Sierra from Homebrew.
