Comment(by Xavion):

 The desire to split a sound server into library and application packages
 doesn't necessarily infer that the associated package management system is
 limited.  In fact, the relatively advanced package management system of
 Arch Linux is one of its biggest drawcards.

 I just think that it'd be beneficial for Linux distribution developers if
 there's an easy and reliable way to split the PulseAudio package.  You may
 find that some of them decide that it's in their better interest to do so,
 while others might remain nonchalant or unaware.

 To be honest, it looks like you're mostly dodging this issue to minimise
 your workload.  If one of us works on this and then supplies you with an
 acceptable patch for the Makefile, it'd be frustrating and annoying if you
 then decide to reject it for no good reason.
