Unless you're passing -c to touch, touch should *not* fail upon
invocation. What is the precise command you used?

You could also use:
echo something > $HOME/.pulse_a11y_nostart
as your normal, unprivileged user.

Please note that's a-one-one-why (for accessibility), not a-el-el-why.

The file does not exist by default, hence why you would want to create it.
