PulseAudio fails to build on 14.04

[Githlar]

I attempted to add --enable-webrtc-aec to PulseAudio in 14.04.

I downloaded the source via 'apt-get source pulseaudio'

I downloaded the build dependencies via 'apt-get build-dep pulseaudio'

I downloaded the libwebrtc-audio-processing-dev requirement for the WebRTC echo cancellation

I added the configuration switch --enable-webrtc-aec to debian/rules

Then, when I attempted to build via 'dpkg-buildpackage -uc -us -b', I got this error:

In file included from /usr/include/x86_64-linux-gnu/sys/soundcard.h:1:0,
                 from utils/padsp.c:35:
utils/padsp.c: In function 'dsp_ioctl':
utils/padsp.c:2280:14: error: 'SOUND_PCM_READ_RATE_is_obsolete' undeclared (first use in this function)
         case SOUND_PCM_READ_RATE:

utils/padsp.c:2296:14: error: 'SOUND_PCM_READ_BITS_is_obsolete' undeclared (first use in this function)
         case SOUND_PCM_READ_BITS:
              ^

I then removed my --enable-webrtc-aec change to debian/rules and I get the same error. I also tried building PulseAudio 5.0 from source and had the same issue. How was this package built in the first place? Is there something extra that's required and not in the build-deps? I the current version of libc6-dev (the provider of /usr/include/x86_64-linux-gnu/soundcard.h) now unusable for building PulseAudio without additional patches?

Interesting there is no evidence of successful 14.04 builds after this bug was reported...
