-Second, you need to compile 32bit package. Unfortunately, you can't use sbotools to do that for you because of a few errors that require you to edit SlackBuild for PA. You can compile speex and json-c as compat32 packages without any problem, but PulseAudio for some reason doesn't want to compile with 32bit version of libxcb and libcap, so, if it fails to compile as is, you'll need to edit SlackBuild to add ''%%--%%disable-x11 %%--%%without-cap'' for it to build successfully. It doesn't matter here, because all we are after is 32bit libpulse. Next, for some reason even after importing 32dev.sh PA still tries to use some 64bit libraries.
