In my case, even if I create the directories manually PulseAudio complain that the rights are not correctly set and delete all the directories ! There are no ACL check and if I look at the source code and I don't see any part related to ACL support on home folder (just for udev). Please help me, no one of mine 230 linux clients have sound since Gnome switched to PulseAudio. This is problematic on a high-school network. Thanks again and excuse my English ! Baptiste.
