Just thought I'd finish this up. Adding those couple of lines worked and 
pulseaudio appears to be linked and working with liboil apart from a 
warning error:
OIL: ERROR liboilcpu.c 549: oil_cpu_detect_kernel_support(): Operating 
system is not known to support SSE.  Assuming it does, which might cause 
problems
It appears to be working fine though.

The patch against liboiltmp.c that I detailed above is attached.
