Description:
When running pulseaudio as a non-root user from an lxde/openbox session, pulseaudio tries to create the directory "/run/user/0/pulse", which fails due to permissions.
This happens on a fresh installation, none of the pulseaudio configuration files have been modified.

The exact output:
[fdold@arch ~]$ pulseaudio
E: [pulseaudio] core-util.c: Failed to create secure directory ("/run/user/0/pulse"): Permission denied

Additional info:
package version: pulseaudio 3.0-2

There's absolutely nothing wrong with pulse trying to write to /run. The problem here is likely your setup -- why is pulse trying to run as root? How do you start X?
