There are no implicit dependencies between sockets and services, so +# the socket, as set up by systemd will race with the socket, as set up +# by the pulseaudio daemon. This can cause the pulseaudio.socket unit to +# fail (even though the pulseaudio service started just fine), which can +# confuse users. +# 2. While it is possible to use the service without the socket, it is not +# clear why it would be desirable. And a user installing pulseaudio and +# doing `systemctl --user start pulseaudio` will not get the socket +# started, which might be confusing and problematic if the server is to +# be restarted later on, as the client autospawn feature might kick in.
