Tried to emerge media-sound/pulseaudio-0.9.11, but it fails on configure if you don't have speex installed. The PulseAudio homepage says: # libspeexdsp Required as of 0.9.11 There's no option to disable speex in the pulseaudio-0.9.11 configure. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Make sure speex isn't installed 2. emerge pulseaudio 0.9.11 3. -> . . . checking for pkg-config... /usr/bin/pkg-config checking pkg-config is at least version 0.9.0... yes checking for LIBSNDFILE... yes checking for LIBSPEEX... configure: error: Package requirements ( speexdsp >= 1.2 ) were not met: No package 'speexdsp' found Consider adjusting the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable if you installed software in a non-standard prefix. Alternatively, you may set the environment variables LIBSPEEX_CFLAGS and LIBSPEEX_LIBS to avoid the need to call pkg-config. See the pkg-config man page for more details. !!!

Yeah speex support is not optional. chutzpath: In the future please check the dep via something like http://pulseaudio.org/wiki/DependenciesListDistroSpecific and usually if there is no configure switch for the dep then it's not optional.
