Recently, the following error message started appearing in my logs: pulseaudio[3704]: stat('/etc/pulse/default.pa.d'): Bestand of map bestaat niet (Bestand of map bestaat niet = File or folder does not exist) Elsewhere [*], people say that this means that that folder has not been created on installation of pulseaudio and that it should. I guess this also holds for Gentoo. (I do not understand why this started happening only now.)

(In reply to Igor V. Kovalenko from comment #1) > This is a warning message, should have started with version 15.0 I guess it is good to avoid it anyway, even if it is harmless in general. Is there some problem with just adding this directory upon install?
Would be nice if it is created, people may not know that config snippets are possible for PA if it is not there.
OK I do agree that it will be more clean to install included directories, added a PR now.
