Comment 5 for bug 1197395

Ok, I'm adding it. I didn't have the problem again. I'll try to play music
every time I turn on the PC, and if I won't have problem for almost a week,
I will report it here.

> Bug description:
> I'm experiencing this problem with Ubuntu Saucy. Some times, when I
> start a media player (I use Musique), it freezes, as it finds that it
> cannot write into /run/user/$ID/pulse.
> If I change the owner of that directory to me, the media player starts
> as usual and is able to play music.
> I've never had this problem with previous versions of Ubuntu.
> Someone says that running PulseAudio with the -D argument changes the
> owner of that directory, but I didn't try.
>
> This is before manually changing the owner of that directory:
> $ musique
