 Did that. Something appears to be wrong with the CoreAudio modules: they
 fail to initialise, and PulseAudio quits because it doesn't detect any
 sound hardware as a result.

 The dylib-instead-of-so thing is because of the move to Meson, easy enough
 to fix in modules/meson.build but you the etc/pulse/* config files (that
 should be installed as samples, not overwrite the current versions!) need
 to be fixed too. (Plus evidently meson doesn't use the same weird
 versioning as libtool/autoconf so you end up with libraries with a lower
 compatibility version and are rejected by all dependents...)
