Well, the first thing I would try would be "grep -r /pulse /etc".
And if that fails, "grep -r /pulse /lib/systemd".
If *those* both fail... well, I might be crazy enough to try removing
the offending directory, doing "chattr +i /", then rebooting, and seeing
who complains when they can't create the /pulse directory. Only on a
system where I have local hardware access, of course -- not a remote.
Do not forget to remove the immutable bit after your test is complete.
And as a wise reader already said, it's probably pulseaudio. Meaning,
you might be able to test without rebooting, by stopping pulseaudio,
removing the directory, and starting pulseaudio, to see if it gets
recreated.
