pulseaudio Failed to create secure directory (/run/user/1000/pulse)

I had a great setup with cinnamon on arch. After that i installed awesome wm which is really incredible!

I didn't have any problems with cinnamon except that during installing slim or other dm besides gdm there was a weird problem on the system. Anyways in awesome i use nemo as a file explorer sometimes.
Pulse audio stops working randomly. My user is in audio group. But somehow pulseaudio stops working all of the sudden. (Only applications which are using pulseaudio on my system is vlc or chromium with pepperflash, and steam)

I try to manually kill or start pulseaudio but i get this error

E: [pulseaudio] core-util.c: Failed to create secure directory (/run/user/1000/pulse): Permission denied

and when i do fuser -v /dev/snd/* i get pulseaudio process which is using the device files.
and here is my asound.conf

# Use PulseAudio by default
pcm.!default {
  type pulse
  fallback "sysdefault"
  hint {
    show on
    description "Default ALSA Output (currently PulseAudio Sound Server)"
  }
}

ctl.!default {
  type pulse
  fallback "sysdefault"
}
