paprefs does not find modules

[Rene Hopf]

on ubuntu 20.10 paprefs does not find modules, as it uses a hardcoded path.
workaround:
cd /usr/lib
sudo ln -s pulse-13.99.2 pulse-13.99

see
https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=531251

strace paprefs 2>&1 |grep /lib/pulse
access("/usr/lib/pulse-13.99/modules/module-esound-protocol-tcp.so", F_OK) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory)

Thank you for your bug report. Indeed that's buggy in focal as well. That has been fixed in the stable version in hirsute now
