The system is newly installed Ubuntu 15.10 without any change on pulseaudio,
just the kernel be updated to a newer commit on drm-intel repo. The Ubuntu
image is Intel internally shared revision.

With original kernel of Ubuntu, only 1 pulseaudio process is observed, and the
pid matches /run/user/119/pulse/pid.
With new kernel, after boot up, multiple pulseaudio processes are observed,
there's no folder besides 1000/ on /run/user/, and /run/user/1000/pulse/ is not
existing. A few minutes later, /run/user/1000/pulse/pid appears and the value
matches one of the pulseaudio processes. Still no other folders besides 1000/
on /run/user/.

Please find logs attached. And please notice it looks there are 2 phases after
boot up:
(1) in a few minutes after boot up, the /tmp/pulse.log has only 4 lines:
D: [pulseaudio] conf-parser.c: Parsing configuration file
'/home/test/.config/pulse/client.conf'
I: [pulseaudio] main.c: setrlimit(RLIMIT_NICE, (31, 31)) failed: Operation
not permitted
I: [pulseaudio] main.c: setrlimit(RLIMIT_RTPRIO, (9, 9)) failed: Operation
not permitted
D: [pulseaudio] core-rtclock.c: Timer slack is set to 50 us.
commands such as "alsamixer" and "aplay -l" does not respond;
(2) a few more minutes later, more contents appears on /tmp/pulse.log and
commands such as "alsamixer" and "aplay -l" works normal. Yet multiple
pulseaudio processes are existing at this time.
/home/test/.config/pulse/client.conf did not exists, and I created one.</pre>
