I have no idea. I just know that kmix doesn't link right now. (It looks 
like it hasn't worked with pulse for some time... since the link 
interface stuff, at least, since I am having to fix a problem due to that.)

Actually I am starting to doubt that it *ever* worked, as kmix asks for 
PULSEAUDIO_MAINLOOP_LIBRARY, but such variable has never been defined by 
FindPulseAudio.cmake.

I'm inclined to write finding the mainloop .so as an independent check 
without using pkgconfig, as it pulls pulse, glib2, *and* mainloop if I 
use pkgconfig.

Um... that would imply that PA has serious ABI compatibility problems?
