+ <p><opt>auto-connect-localhost=</opt> Automatically try to
+ connect to localhost via IP. Enabling this is a potential
+ security hole since connections are only authenticated one-way
+ and a rogue server might hence fool a client into sending it its
+ private (e.g. VoIP call) data. This was enabled by default on
+ PulseAudio version 0.9.21 and older. Defaults to
