Title:
  ubuntu-touch-session pulseaudio job fails to start

Status in ubuntu-touch-session package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  The pulseaudio upstart user session job from ubuntu-touch-session,
  /usr/share/upstart/sessions/pulseaudio.conf, runs a post-start script
  that polls for /run/user/`id -u`/pulse/dbus-socket.  Versions of
  pulseaudio in wily or later do not appear to create this socket
  anymore; they only create /run/user/$id/pulse/native.

  It's possible this is because the /etc/pulse/touch.pa config is not
  being properly applied and therefore module-dbus-protocol.so is not
  being loaded.  Regardless of the root cause, the symptom I'm seeing is
  that an emulator instance running wily fails to ever start the
  pulseaudio job.

  The post-start script shown in this job, where the script polls
  waiting for the creation of the socket, is also quite bad.  upstart
  does have inotify support; the affected jobs can instead be started
  directly on creation of the relevant socket.
