I found an easy way to regenerate the epulse crash. An overzealous cleanup
of /tmp was probably the reason why it crashed in my system.
Look at /tmp/xdg-* files. One of them will contain a pulse/ folder. Simply
run the following then,
mv /tmp/xdg-xxxxxx/pulse{,1}
Then restart E and try to interact with epulse to crash E.
