[Bug 1844671] Re: Pulseaudio error is shown starting Ubuntu terminal

[Balint Reczey]

Verified on Eoan, Disco, Bionic and Xenial.

On Xenial the fix is not needed because pactl does not throw error.

Bug description:
  [Impact]

   * Pulseaudio error is shown starting Ubuntu terminal

  [Test Case]

   * Install Ubuntu WSL app on Windows 10 1909 or older version
   * Set up and start the Windows build of PulseAudio as described on https://wiki.ubuntu.com/WSL
   * Install wslu and pulseaudio-utils, then log out of the terminal
   * Start the terminal and observe no error message appearing on login, but appearing when running:
     $ pactl info
   * Also no error is shown when sourcing wsl-integration.sh twice:
     $ . /etc/profile.d/wsl-integration.sh
     $ . /etc/profile.d/wsl-integration.sh

  [Regression Potential]

   * Minimal. The change is just suppressing stderror from pactl on
  startup.
