I suppose, but your system is doing really weird stuff: running
pulseaudio as user and writing to / should be, at least
theoretically, impossible. PulseAudio is not setuid'. You could check
proc to see if it's actually PA writing to /; for example, I have
$ ps aux | grep pulse
canek 752 0.0 0.1 320356 5624 ? Sl May27 2:52
/usr/bin/pulseaudio --start --log-target=3Dsyslog
canek 755 0.0 0.0 190328 20 ? Sl May27 0:00
/usr/libexec/pulse/gconf-helper
So I do
$ ls -l /proc/752/fd/
total 0
lr-x------ 1 canek canek 64 May 30 20:39 0 -> /dev/null
l-wx------ 1 canek canek 64 May 30 20:39 1 -> /dev/null
lrwx------ 1 canek canek 64 May 30 20:39 10 ->
/home/canek/.pulse/a8880ec371495fe2255463514a0d14e8-device-volumes.x86_64-p=
c-linux-gnu.gdbm
lrwx------ 1 canek canek 64 May 30 20:39 11 ->
/home/canek/.pulse/a8880ec371495fe2255463514a0d14e8-stream-volumes.x86_64-p=
c-linux-gnu.gdbm
lrwx------ 1 canek canek 64 May 30 20:39 12 ->
/home/canek/.pulse/a8880ec371495fe2255463514a0d14e8-card-database.x86_64-pc=
-linux-gnu.gdbm
So I can see that my PA process has opened files on /home/canek/.pulse/.
However, I guess that will only confirm that your PA process is
opening files in /. So this I would do (as root):
1. Backup any pulse file in /etc:
$ tar zcvf /root/pulse-conf-bak.tar.gz $(find /etc -iname "*pulse*")
In my system, there are only 4 PulseAudio files in /etc:
$ find /etc -iname "*pulse*"
/etc/pulse
/etc/xdg/autostart/pulseaudio-kde.desktop
/etc/xdg/autostart/pulseaudio.desktop
/etc/dbus-1/system.d/pulseaudio-system.conf
2. Uninstall pulse:
$ emerge -C pulseaudio
3. Remove every single file in /etc that looks related to pulse (check
before that nothing else is getting in the list):
$ find /etc -iname "*pulse*"
# If everything seems safe to delete, then
$ rm -rf $(find /etc -iname "*pulse*")
4. Emerge PA again:
$ emerge -1v pulseaudio
5. Delete /.pulse and all its files.
6. Reboot.
If after all this you are still getting the .pulse directory in /,
then I have no idea how is getting in there.
Regards.
