paman padevchooser pavucontrol pavumeter paprefs compile and work for x86. Don't know about libao-pulse, but probably too. And I think it would be a good idea to merge most of the above into a meta package - pulse-tools or something.
The following packages emerged on my testing box: media-sound/paman-0.9.2 media-sound/paman-0.9.3 media-sound/padevchooser-0.9.2 media-sound/padevchooser-0.9.2 media-sound/pavucontrol-0.9.2 media-sound/pavucontrol-0.9.3 media-sound/pavucontrol-0.9.4 media-plugins/libao-pulse-0.9.2 media-plugins/libao-pulse-0.9.3 media-sound/pavumeter-0.9.2 media-sound/paprefs-0.9.5 emerge --info Portage 2.1.2_pre2-r5 (default-linux/x86/2006.1/desktop, gcc-4.1.1, glibc-2.4-r4, 2.6.19-rc1 i686) ================================================================= System uname: 2.6.19-rc1 i686 Intel(R) Pentium(R) M processor 1600MHz Gentoo Base System version 1.12.5 Last Sync: Sat, 07 Oct 2006 10:50:01 +0000 ccache version 2.4 [disabled] app-admin/eselect-compiler: [Not Present] dev-java/java-config: 1.3.7, 2.0.30 dev-lang/python: 2.3.5-r3, 2.4.3-r4 dev-python/pycrypto: 2.0.1-r5 dev-util/ccache: 2.4-r6 dev-util/confcache: [Not Present] sys-apps/sandbox: 1.2.18.1 sys-devel/autoconf: 2.13, 2.60 sys-devel/automake: 1.4_p6, 1.5, 1.6.3, 1.7.9-r1, 1.8.5-r3, 1.9.6-r2 sys-devel/binutils: 2.17 sys-devel/gcc-config: 1.3.13-r4 sys-devel/libtool: 1.5.22 virtual/os-headers: 2.6.17-r1 ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="x86 ~x86" AUTOCLEAN="yes" CBUILD="i686-pc-linux-gnu" CFLAGS="-O2 -march=pentium-m -fomit-frame-pointer -pipe" CHOST="i686-pc-linux-gnu" CONFIG_PROTECT="/etc /usr/kde/3.5/env /usr/kde/3.5/share/config /usr/kde/3.5/shutdown /usr/share/X11/xkb /usr/share/config" CONFIG_PROTECT_MASK="/etc/env.d /etc/env.d/java/ /etc/gconf /etc/java-config/vms/ /etc/revdep-rebuild /etc/terminfo /etc/texmf/web2c" CXXFLAGS="-O2 -march=pentium-m -fomit-frame-pointer -pipe" DISTDIR="/usr/portage/distfiles" FEATURES="autoconfig collision-protect distlocks fixpackages metadata-transfer parallel-fetch sandbox sfperms strict userfetch userpriv usersandbox" GENTOO_MIRRORS="http://mirror.switch.ch/mirror/gentoo/ http://gentoo.inode.at/" LANG="en_GB.utf8" LC_ALL="en_GB.utf8" LINGUAS="en de en_GB" MAKEOPTS="-j2" PKGDIR="/usr/portage/packages" PORTAGE_RSYNC_OPTS="--recursive --links --safe-links --perms --times --compress --force --whole-file --delete --delete-after --stats --timeout=180 --exclude=/distfiles --exclude=/local --exclude=/packages" PORTAGE_TMPDIR="/var/tmp" PORTDIR="/usr/portage" PORTDIR_OVERLAY="/usr/local/portage/normal /usr/local/portage/java-experimental" SYNC="rsync://192.168.2.1/gentoo-portage" USE="x86 X a52 aac acpi alsa apache2 bash-completion beagle berkdb bidi bitmap-fonts bzip2 cairo cdr clamav cli crypt css cups curl dbus divx divx4linux dlloader dri dts dvd dvdr dvdread eds elibc_glibc emboss encode ethereal exif ffmpeg firefox font-server fortran freetype gcj gd gdbm gif gnome gnuplot gnutls gphoto2 gpm graphviz gs gstreamer gtk hal hardenedphp ieee1394 imagemagick input_devices_evdev input_devices_keyboard input_devices_mouse input_devices_synaptics ipod ipv6 isdnlog java jikes jpeg kde kdeenablefinal kernel_linux libclamav libg++ linguas_de linguas_en linguas_en_GB live logitech-mouse mad maildir mikmod mmx mono mozcalendar mozdevelop mozilla mozsvg mp3 mpeg ncurses network nls no-htdocs nptl nptlonly ntfs nvidia oav ogg oggvorbis opengl oss pam pcre pdf perl png ppds pppd python qt qt3 qt4 quicktime readline real reflection ruby samba screen sdl session spell spl sse sse2 ssl stream subversion svg tcpd tetex theora threads tiff truetype truetype-fonts type1-fonts udev unicode usb userland_GNU vcd video_cards_radeon vlm vorbis wifi win32codecs wxwindows xcomposite xine xinerama xml2 xorg xprint xv xvid zlib" Unset: CTARGET, EMERGE_DEFAULT_OPTS, INSTALL_MASK, LDFLAGS, PORTAGE_RSYNC_EXTRA_OPTS
