I don't think this is a problem specific to upstream but rather how it's
compiled at a distro level. e.g. on my system here (where we take particular
care to avoid overlinking generally):

[colin at jimmy libcanberra]$ objdump -p
/usr/lib64/libcanberra-0.28/libcanberra-pulse.so | grep pulse
/usr/lib64/libcanberra-0.28/libcanberra-pulse.so:     file format elf64-x86-64
  NEEDED               libpulse.so.0
  SONAME               libcanberra-pulse.so
  required from libpulse.so.0:

So as you can see I do not suffer from the same problem here. I really think
this is something you need to take up with the slackware guys with regards to
general goals to reduce overlinking.
