Description:

After updating pulse audio I get:

"If you have per-user copies of configuration files (such as client.conf,
daemon.conf or default.pa) in ~/.pulse/, make sure you keep them in sync
with changes to the packaged files in /etc/pulse/. Otherwise, PulseAudio
may refuse to start due to configuration errors."

The advice is wrong because the user configuration path for pulseaudio is now ~/.config/pulse
(and not ~/.pulse).


Additional info:
* package version(s)
pulseaudio 4.0-2
libpulse 4.0-2

* config and/or log files etc.
FILE: /var/log/pacman.log

Steps to reproduce:

Install or update pulseaudio or just look at the pulseaudio package pulseaudio.install file and see the incorrect text.

Actually, if ~/.config/pulse doesn't exist but ~/.pulse does, it's still used (and ~/.config/pulse is not created), so it's not completely wrong.
