 As far as I can tell, the main suspect call is `pa_start_child_for_read()`
 in libpulsecore.  As far as I can tell:

  * The only consumer appears to be the `gconf` module, which is hardcoded
 to execute `gconf-helper`.
  * Despite what the Tails bugs says, this does not appear to directly be
 exposed to any IPC calls.

 Since `gconf` doesn't exist inside the sandbox this should be harmless,
 but I might as well stub it out anyway.
