On 13 May 2009, Jason Taylor spake thusly: > shouldn't the directory be ~/.config/pulseaudio now ? > > http://standards.freedesktop.org/basedir-spec/basedir-spec-latest.html That's very non-Unixlike. Unix tradition has always been that if you need multiple per-user configuration files, you put them in a dot-directory in the user's $HOME named after the creating application. Technically clued users know this. Personally, if something went wrong with PA I would never think of looking in ~/.config/, because the directory is plainly superfluous: dotfiles in $HOME *are* configuration, so there's no need for an extra layer of directories. As there's no way everything will ever switch to using ~/.config, all this does is adds an inconsistent place to keep config files: and Unix has been fairly free of such inconsistencies until now. *slouches off, grumbling about people who don't know Unix being condemned to reinvent it*
