+Files have to have the .conf file name extension, but otherwise the file names can be
+chosen freely. The files under pulse-daemon.conf.d are processed in alphabetical order. 
+In case the same option is set in multiple files, the last file to set an option 
+overrides earlier files. The main daemon.conf file is processed first, so 
+options set in files under pulse-daemon.conf.d override the main file.
