I have deleted (because of errors) the /tmp folder, which contains the pulseaudio folder. The question is: how to restart pulseaudio without restarting X11? If I restart X11, pulseaudio works fine. I have tried

start-pulseaudio-x11 

which gives this error

N: [pulseaudio] main.c: User-configured server at {54116d3eeebf4e5b5e1f50d757286535}unix:/tmp/pulse-l7iX3tHbLHHy/native, refusing to start/autospawn.
Connection failure: Connection refused
pa_context_connect() failed: Connection refused

I have tried this

pulseaudio --start

and it gives this error

N: [pulseaudio] main.c: User-configured server at {54116d3eeebf4e5b5e1f50d757286535}unix:/tmp/pulse-l7iX3tHbLHHy/native, refusing to start/autospawn.

How do I restart pulseaudio?

p.s. Of course I have killed the previous pulseaudio daemon.
