 Right, kind of forgot about this, although coincidentally it actually came
 up again for me today in a different context; apparently VLC-devel also
 uses pulseaudio, so it was printing similar warnings in its log messages:

 {{{
 9/25/14 9:15:04 AM      [0x0-0xa76a76].org.videolan.vlc[66585]  W: []
 caps.c: Normally all extra capabilities would be dropped now, but that's
 impossible because PulseAudio was built without capabilities support.
 }}}

 Anyways, copying the pulseaudio Portfile over to my local Portfile repo
 now, and at least making the `s/--without-caps/--with-caps/g` change for
 testing next...

 Replying to [comment:4 ryandesign@…]:
 > If pulseaudio support is not thought to be essential to openal-soft, it
 could be made a variant.

 I think I'd kind of actually prefer this, too. I'd still enable it, but it
 would be nice to be able to disable it just in case.
