Bugzilla Bug 233774

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.
