Putting openal-soft-1.11.753 in /usr/local/lib (and running ldconfig) fixes this issue by making openal-soft work directly with pulse, rather than using the (presumably broken) alsa-pulse hooks.
Someone please remind me why, after oss, alsa, nas, esd, aRts, jack, gstreamer, SDL, ClanLib, libao and allegro, why did we really need pulse? It feels like the '90s all over again.
