app-emulation/emul-linux-x86-soundlibs is missing the PulseAudio client libraries and the alsa-pulse plugin. This makes setting up a PulseAudio system on amd64 multilib difficult because: 1. The ability to configure 32-bit SDL to use esound output is non-obvious. 2. 32-bit Non-SDL applications which use ALSA will complain about the pulse sink (provided in media-plugins/alsa-plugins for 64-bit apps) being missing. 3. net-www/libflashsupport lacks an amd64 keyword and fails to build manually because the pulseaudio libraries are installed (./configure detects them) but only for 64-bit applications. 4. Using the integrated artsdsp support in Konqueror fails with 64-bit Konqueror -> nspluginwrapper -> 32-bit netscape-flash. Having to specifically run Firefox with pasuspender is not an acceptable solution and running `killall nspluginviewer; pasuspender -- sh -c "read"` for Konqueror before loading an audio-enabled flash applet is not an acceptable solution. (pasuspender temporarily unhooks the PulseAudio daemon from the sound card, grating exclusive access to one application) Reproducible: Always

Weird. I tried three different searches before I posted this and none of them returned any results.
Can't we put a precompiled 32bit version of net-www/libflashsupport into app-emulation/emul-linux-x86-soundlibs ?
