pa_strerror symbol not found link error.

[Parakleta]

Not sure if this is a FreeBSD issue specifically, but I found that I got link errors when just pulse-simple was linked since the pa_strerror symbol could not be found. This symbol is in the base pulse library. I'm not sure if this is a version or distribution thing or what.

To get a successful build on FreeBSD I needed to define the following environment variables:

LDFLAGS='-L/usr/local/lib -lpulse'
CFLAGS='-I/usr/local/include'

CMake and Meson check also for the pulse dependency. You could try if it works when you build with one of them. Meson doesn't produce a pkgconfig file yet. But you can use it as a subproject.
