I have install from binary, pulseaudio depends on libsmbios, with make some so file broken without libsmbios installed, please include libsmbios in rdepend or so. thanks.

Expected Results: RDEPEND on libsmbios, alsa module works
Given that PulseAudio *never* uses libsmbios directly, libsmbios is likely brough in by HAL. So either the problem is with HAL, or you got a PulseAudio built with an older HAL around, and you're not using --as-needed to protect from just-this-situation, among others. Simple answer is that pulseaudio should _not_ RDEPEND on libsmbios at all.
