How to stop all these empty ~/tmp/plasma* files?

[joe at actionline.com]

Okay, I've deleted everything in /tmp and over the past day only one thing
has been added there; and it is an example of another socket entry named
pulse-xmxmx (0 (zero) file size) that has been added there multiple times:

$ pwd;ls -ltr
/home/joe/tmp/pulse-FhJiuD7aXpOb
total 0

How can I chase down what is causing "pulse" socket entries to be added in
'tmp' repeatedly?
