Comment (by strix):
In Slackware 14.2 stable (which runs pulseaudio 9.0), the default install
of Tor Browser 9.0.1 (from tor-browser SBo, which uses the pre-built
package from dist.torproject.org) will crash the pulseaudio user daemon.
Usually, the user will need to kill the daemon after closing Tor Browser
so a functioning daemon can be spawned for other applications.
The fix in Slackware 14.2 is nearly identical to what the submitter of
this ticket suggested for CentOS 6:
{{{
$ cp -pf $HOME/.esd_auth $HOME/.tor-browser/INSTALL/Browser
$ cp -pfr $HOME/.config/pulse/ $HOME/.tor-browser/INSTALL/Browser
}}}
(The cookie file is copied with the pulse directory.)
