This looks similar to a bug in the Gentoo distribution at
https://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=438844
When the alsa-utils init script restores the sound card state (via
alsactl), it runs without a HOME environment variable, so the files get
created in /.
Likely, the pulseaudio plugin for ALSA (from libasound2-plugins
package) causes pulseaudio to be invoked, creating the files.
The patch in the Gentoo bug currently adds a HOME variable to alsactl's
environment with an appropriate folder. This means the files get
created there instead of /.
If there is a way to disable the plugin when the alsa-utils init script
runs, it would avoid creating the files altogether.
Thanks,
Adam
