[135541] trunk/dports/audio/pulseaudio

[Jeremy Sequoia]

I don't know the answer to why VLC was linking pulsecommon.  That would be a wuestion for VLC and/or pulseaudio.  I suspect either VLC was explicitly linking it for some hack around lack of pulse API or it was incorrectly listed in pukse's pkg-config file.
