That's strange, it should not have been necessary since srt is built
by Cerbero using srt.recipe

Pulseaudio is disabled by default unless the `pulse` variant is
enabled. It's not a required dependency. What are the contents of
~/.cerbero/cerbero.cbc for you?

If you do need to build the pulseaudio plugin, you need to install the
development packages using your distro's package manager. Depending on
which Linux distro you use, this might be called pulseaudio-libs-devel
or libpulse-devel or libpulse-dev, etc.
