Its difficult to get secure deletion, and also some people like their
data to stay there over reboots.

Also, I wonder why the /tmp/pulse-vuntz/ was created by root:root, perhaps
after a "su" or "sudo".

And why pulseaudio did not handle this bug like all other
/tmp/GNOMEAPP-USER users, which do this just fine already.

Ciao, Marcus
