Hmm... is this to get the correct directory structure? Because a owner of .pc
files has no need for the pkgconfig command (the users of the .pc files are the
ones that need the command).

Of course. :)

pulseaudio-devel is the headers and libraries for building modules for the
server. pulseaudio-libs-devel is the headers and libraries for building
PulseAudio clients.

I couldn't find any reasonable list of libraries that are "always present", so I
went with the approach of least dependencies.

Note though that a machine running pulseaudio server/clients isn't necesariliy a
desktop machine. You could have a machine hooked up to output sound on your
living room stereo, or you could have a dedicated mp3 player (HTPC perhaps) that
you want to stream data somewhere.
