Add an xauthority parameter and use it in the startup script.
Apparently on some systems the X authentication cookie is not stored in
~/.Xauthority but in some dynamic location pointed to by the XAUTHORITY
environment variable. The environment variable therefore needs to be set
in the PulseAudio daemon environment in order to have access to the X
server from the PulseAudio daemon, but the variable is not necessarily
set when starting PulseAudio. For example, systemd starts PulseAudio
outside the X session. The start-pulseaudio-x11 script is run in the
X session, so it has the environment variable available, and can pass it
to the X modules, which then can set the variable in the daemon
environment.

Based on patch by Alexander Kurtz <kurtz.alex@googlemail.com>
Currently, the version check snippet uses a 'bash' extension which
arithemtically evaluates variables prior to expansion. This approach
does not nesseceraly work on other shells which may complain with
'5: Illegal numer' error. Expand the arithmetic expression before
evaluation to avoid such an error.

FSF addresses used in PA sources are no longer valid and rpmlint
generates numerous warnings during packaging because of this.
This patch changes all FSF addresses to FSF web page according to
the GPL how-to: https://www.gnu.org/licenses/gpl-howto.en.html
Done automatically by sed-ing through sources.
This --start is patched out in several downstreams to allow users to easily
disable PA by simply disabling autospawn.
If autospawn is enabled, then the first pactl command will start it and if not
it will fail and the script will exit.
When switching to systemd socket activation, we very much do not want to
start PA manually here. We could replace it with a
systemctl --user start pulseaudio
but really it just makes sense to rely on the socket activation as this
should apply equally to non-systemd setups which use PA's own autospawn.
