PulseAudio 2.0 and Slackware64 13.37

Greetings!
I compiled pulseaudio and alsa-plugins from source (I need pulse for a project I'm working on).

This is the way I built the packages:

Code:

tar -xfv pulseaudio-2.0.tar.xz

cd pulseaudio-2.0

./configure --prefix=/usr --libdir=/usr/lib64 --sysconfdir=/etc --localstatedir=/var --mandir=/usr/man --docdir=/usr/doc

make -j5

make install DESTDIR=$(pwd)/pkg

cd pkg

makepkg -c n -l y $HOME/pulseaudio-2.0-x86_64-1ax.txz

So far so good.
Installing with upgradepkg --install-new $HOME/pulseaudio*.txz
Next is alsa plugins:

Code:

tar -xvf alsa-plugins-1.0.25.tar.bz2

cd alsa-plugins-1.0.25

./configure --prefix=/usr --libdir=/usr/lib64 --sysconfdir=/etc --localstatedir=/var --mandir=/usr/man --docdir=/usr/doc

make

make install DESTDIR=$(pwd)/pkg

cd pkg

makepkg -c n -l y $HOME/alsa-plugins-1.0.25-x86_64-1ax.txz

Installing with upgradepkg --install-new $HOME/alsa-plugins-*.txz

Running the pulse daemon as user (yes, I am in group audio)

Code:

pulseaudio --start #It starts without any warnings

Adding to $HOME/.asoundrc

Code:

pcm.pulse {

        type pulse

}



ctl.pulse {

        type pulse

}

and finally
aplay -Dpulse $HOME/test.wav
....
aplay -Dpulse test.wav
ALSA lib dlmisc.c:236:(snd1_dlobj_cache_get) Cannot open shared library /usr/lib64/alsa-lib/libasound_module_pcm_pulse.so
aplay: main:660: audio open error: No such device or address

I'm clueless what to do now.
I added user/group pulse, I added user pulse to group audio, I tried running pulseaudio as a system daemon to no avail. Help!

The error message seems pretty straightforward; aplay cannot locate a library file:

What does locate libasound_module_pcm_pulse.so tell you? (You may have to run locate -u first to update the slocate database.)

Actually aplay cannot find a device or address.
The library is there:

and
strace aplay -Dpulse: http://pastebin.com/Nz1710zV (it's really long)

As far as I can tell from strace, it opens the library successfully but it still fails with can't open device or address.
