Pulseaudio i386 support in x86_64 is incomplete

As discussed in #fedora-meeting, I'm starting a discussion on the
mailing list about this topic.

To get functional pulseaudio support for legacy i386 apps in x86_64
(and perhaps ppc apps on ppc64?), the following packages need to be
added to the x86_64 repo:

pulseaudio-utils.i386
pulseaudio-esound-compat.i386

(please add any package I've inadvertently omitted here)

Affected packages:
- Real Player (there are experimental 64-bit builds but as far as I
can tell they are not that usable yet)
- Crossover Office (Crossover-handled apps works fine if they preload
padsp, but this needs both packages above to work. This seems to be
broken on KDE4 -- not sure how KDE4 and Pulseaudio interacts. Anyone
from the KDE SIG knows more?)

Bugzilla entries:
# 376721 https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=376721

Best,
