I tried the "./gitcompile --enable-pulseaudio" command myself, and had this problem:

Debian doesn't ship libsndfile.la, so I tried installing libsndfile from source. That didn't help at all. I eventually figured that since the alsa build system doesn't reference libsndfile at all, libpulse must somehow have a reference to /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libsndfile.la (even though my system has never had that file installed). I rebuilt pulseaudio and installed it, and now it works (apparently because the rebuilt version references the version of libsndfile that was built from source, which includes libsndfile.la, instead of referencing the system version of libsndfile).
Does anyone know if the build system of alsa-plugins could be improved so that it doesn't use any external .la files when linking?
Update: now I'm unable to reproduce the problem, even after uninstalling the self-compiled libsndfile instance and rebuilding pulseaudio again... That means that I can't try any fixes, because there's nothing to fix. Sorry for the noise.
