 > It means:

 quite some time ago with an older version of tor-browser.

 HOME)

 (until I copy those pulseaudio files)

 of tor browser was still OK. Unfortunately, the official download location
 does not provide old installation packages - is there an archive
 somewhere? Then I would take the time and check with old versions.

 Thanks! https://archive.torproject.org/tor-package-archive/torbrowser/ has
 all older releases. I guess a good starting point for testing could be
 7.5.6.

 That said on my Linux box sound is fine without having all the hidden
 pulseaudio related folders in my `Browser` directory. So, hrm...
