libpthread is provided by the libc implementation (eglibc on Debian).
libpthread-stubs is completely separate (developed by the XCB project,
apparently). I don't know how libpthread-stubs works, how it replaces
libpthread in the linking process, so I don't know what could cause
pulseaudio to be linked against libpthread-stubs, and I don't know what
you should do. Maybe ask the XCB developers if they know some common
problems with libpthread-stubs.
