There's nothing using PA on my system, it's masked for a good reason.

emul-*-soundlibs gets pulled in by skype on my system, which doesn't use PA.

Please make that dependency more sane.
Comment 1 Mike Gilbert gentoo-dev 2013-12-01 01:45:39 UTC 
There was some discussion of this in #gentoo-dev earlier in the day.

My suggestion would be to identify binary packages that actually need pulseaudio and add deps like this:

amd64? ( || (
    media-sound/pulseaudio[abi_x86_32(-)]
    app-emulation/emul-linux-x86-soundlibs[-abi_x86_32(-)]
) )

Once that is done, the pulseaudio dep can be dropped from app-emulation/emul-linux-x86-soundlibs.

We may add USE=pulseaudio to soundlibs to satisfy the complainers. That would make old deps semi-valid but I guess that's better than irritating a lot of people.

+  01 Dec 2013; Michał Górny <mgorny@gentoo.org>
+  emul-linux-x86-soundlibs-20131008-r2.ebuild, metadata.xml:
+  Add USE=pulseaudio to disable PulseAudio support on multilib variant.

That's the best we can do. It works only with abi_x86_32 on, it is on by default, and it warns you about broken medialibs when you disable it.
