When started as a session agent, PulseAudio creates a temporary directory .pulse inside the home directory of the current user. It insists that this directory has UNIX permissions of 0700.A typical CIFS mount on RHEL (Linux workstation as a domain member in Active Directory environment) with roaming profile mounted as home directory will result in 0770 permissions, breaking PulseAudio. In fact, it is not the permission which will break it, but the fact that they cannot be changed as CIFS does not support file permissions. Using the CIFS UNIX extensions (on by default in modern CIFS implementations for Linux) makes the dir_mode mount option unusable, but disabling these extensions breaks many other things, so it is also not an option.
