launch: explain why .service depends on .socket
The reason for depending on the socket unit is rather unobvious, so
let's add a comment to help people reading the service unit file. Felipe
Sateler explained the rationale well in the commit message of
7cb524a77b, so I just copied the same text into the comment.

Description=Sound Service
|

|
||||
# We require pulseaudio.socket to be active before starting the daemon, for two
|
||||
# reasons:
|
||||
#
|
||||
# 1. There are no implicit dependencies between sockets and services, so
|
||||
# the socket, as set up by systemd will race with the socket, as set up
|
||||
# by the pulseaudio daemon. This can cause the pulseaudio.socket unit to
|
||||
# fail (even though the pulseaudio service started just fine), which can
|
||||
# confuse users.
|
||||
# 2. While it is possible to use the service without the socket, it is not
|
||||
# clear why it would be desirable. And a user installing pulseaudio and
|
||||
# doing `systemctl --user start pulseaudio` will not get the socket
|
||||
# started, which might be confusing and problematic if the server is to
|
||||
# be restarted later on, as the client autospawn feature might kick in.
