[pulseaudio-discuss] pa_make_secure_dir patch: only fchown if necessary

Hello,
we hit a problem similar to what's described here:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=852449
http://lists.opensuse.org/opensuse-bugs/2012-10/msg02347.html

Some NFS servers reject fchown requests, even if you chown to the same 
uid/gid. pulseaudio always executes fchown even if the uid and gid are 
already set correctly (very likely). This patch only executes fchown if 
the uid or gid of ~/.pulse is different from what we want.

Can you please consider this patch?

Thanks,
Bram.
