>=media-sound/pulseaudio-0.9.18 don't use liboil.
See commits http://git.0pointer.de/?p=pulseaudio.git;a=commit;h=25724cdd40283a00e6edd9449d0f3cf16823b41b, http://git.0pointer.de/?p=pulseaudio.git;a=commit;h=470e9a878740b826acaa89d856ba1c7a9d5635b3 and http://git.0pointer.de/?p=pulseaudio.git;a=commit;h=c7fcc9cc01c807c30b6c96f9995ef2c596c74146. Could the dependency be removed, liboil is also deprecated and replaced by orc in all the other packages who required it.
For this bug, those commits are irrelevant. liboil was dropped long before them.

Thanks for pointing this out - fix in 0,9.19 through 0.9.22.
