Ok, obviously this is a missing dependency. With 

*  sys-devel/automake
      Latest version available: 1.11.1
      Latest version installed: 1.11.1

pulseaudio does just fine and compiles.

*  media-sound/pulseaudio
      Latest version available: 0.9.15-r2
      Latest version installed: 0.9.15-r2

 ^[[31;01m*^[[0m Include in your bugreport the contents of:
 ^[[31;01m*^[[0m
 ^[[31;01m*^[[0m  
/var/tmp/portage/media-sound/pulseaudio-0.9.15-r2/temp/aclocal.out

without that we can't figure out what's wrong exactly.

I do not have such a directory:

~> vi /var/tmp/portage/media-
media-gfx/   media-video/

But I could solve the problem with upgrading automake, see above.
