Title:
  pulseaudio doesn't start if /home is a mounted CIFS

Status in pulseaudio package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  I use Ubuntu 14.04.2 LTS
  >apt-cache policy pulseaudio
  pulseaudio:
    Installé : 1:4.0-0ubuntu11.1
    Candidat : 1:4.0-0ubuntu11.1
   Table de version :
   *** 1:4.0-0ubuntu11.1 0
          500 http://fr.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ trusty-updates/main amd64 Packages
          100 /var/lib/dpkg/status
       1:4.0-0ubuntu11 0
          500 http://fr.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ trusty/main amd64 Packages

  When a user's home directory is mounted on a linux machine from
  another host using CIFS, pulseaudio will not start because pulseaudio
  cannot set the necessary permissions on the .config/pulse directory
  (CIFS doesn't allow permissions).

  I found someone that report the same bug under
  https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=71649

  It seams that redhat had implemented a workaround :
  https://rhn.redhat.com/errata/RHBA-2015-0419.html

  This is enoying because i do not have sound anymore since i have
  migrated all the /home/xxx directories to a nas.

  I expect to have sound even if my home directory is setup on a NAS
  through CIFS.
