Thanks. So this rules out a toolchain issue.

The first change which was done to fix bug 463347 was

  http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~ubuntu-core-dev/udev/ubuntu/revision/2521

This does not change any external API, and just fixes a demonstrated major fd leak. I am fairly sure that this was not the culprit.

The second change was

  http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~ubuntu-core-dev/udev/ubuntu/revision/2522

which repairs inotify handling. It also does not change external API, but by making it actually work again on a lot of machines it seems like the kind of bug which might trigger pulseaudio bugs which were previously not visible.

In the built tree that you have, can you please open udev/udev-node.c in gedit and apply the change in http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~ubuntu-core-dev/udev/ubuntu/revision/2521 ? (I. e. add the "closedir" line at the right place), then do

 dpkg-buildpackage -us -uc -b -nc

inside the udev-147~ directory, and then install ../*.deb again? I expect that this will still keep pulseaudio happy, but I'd like to make 100% sure.
