[X2Go-Dev] FYI: I am working with the PulseAudio devs on a Windows-specific cookie issue again

Basically, the fact that PulseAudio ignores XDG_CONFIG_HOME and
PULSE_COOKIE is a problem for everyone who uses or integrates
PulseAduio. Tanu (the lead PulseAudio developer) submitted a set of 9
patches for this issue, but they changed the behavior of PulseAudio in
such a way that breaks compatibility with x2goclient.

My intention is for x2goclient master (4.0.2.1) for Windows to be able
to work with PulseAudio 0.9.6, 1.1, 5.0 and master. Presumably, I'll
just provide feedback on those patches, and Tanu will rework them. Or
I'll make a safe Windows-specific change to x2goclient, like
specifying PULSE_COOKIE.

For those who don't know, x2goclient 4.0.2.0 works with 0.9.6, 1.1 and
5.0. (And versions in-between 1.1 and 5.0. We only ship 5.0 because
there have been no Windows-specific Audio issues reported for
4.0.2.0.)

Also, even before these 9 patches were applied, x2goclient no longer
worked with pulseaudio master. I fixed that though with this commit:
Once I made the parent commit, it was very easy to debug and fix.
