PulseAudio sockets shouldn't live in ~/.config

Project Member Reported by rkjnsn@chromium.org, Aug 26 2017

Issue description

~/.config should only be used for configuration data. Run-time data should live in $XDG_RUNTIME_DIR.

Relocating these sockets to $XDG_RUNTIME_DIR would also help alleviate the current issue where audio forwarding doesn't work if the user's home directory path is too long. Even something like this is still 18 characters under the length limit:

We'd probably want to fall back to /tmp if $XDG_RUNTIME_DIR isn't set.
