Probably the reason for this might be historical, as some compilers may
have supported some C99 features but not all of them (Microsoft
compilers come to mind)."

I don't know if MSVC supports stdbool.h or not, but AFAIK you can
compile PulseAudio for Windows also with GCC, so you don't have to put
up with MSVC's silly limitations.
