+# pulseaudio is trash and insists on using machine-id as a prefix for
+# its database filenames under ~/.config/pulse. So, on systems with
+# randomized machine-ids like Devuan GNU/Linux it shits the bed and
+# can't find its own database files. So we do its job for it and
+# rename its database files on each boot. Ditto for libcanberra's
+# event sound cache database.
