access controlled right now.

<option>
<p><opt>auto-connect-localhost=</opt> Automatically try to
connect to localhost via IP. Enabling this is a potential
security hole since connections are only authenticated one-way
and a rogue server might hence fool a client into sending it its
private (e.g. VoIP call) data. This was enabled by default on
PulseAudio version 0.9.21 and older. Defaults to
<opt>no</opt>.</p>
