I've had a SlackBuild for this here since it came out, but it hits an error in the docs and the compile fails. Anyway, it's a little too late to take a chance on breaking find to try to eliminate a warning.
Ok. Thanks for the clarification.
Anyway, I've built 4.6.0 with success here. Here is a patch in case you want upgrade findutils in the future, maybe for slackware 15.0 :

Thanks for the link.
Now this looks like a worthwhile upgrade,

...Automatic routing improvements
In 8.0, PulseAudio started to automatically switch to another profile when the device associated with the current profile is unplugged. That seemingly smart thing had some serious unintended consequences. One typical issue was that when unplugging headphones, PulseAudio might switch to S/PDIF output and not switch back to headphones when they are plugged in again. Another issue was that HDMI in many cases appears to get temporarily unplugged when the monitor goes to sleep mode, or even when switching the refresh rate of the monitor - PulseAudio 8.0 would move audio away from the HDMI monitor in these cases and not move the audio back to HDMI when the monitor becomes available again. These issues are now fixed.

Reason: Typo.
This seems to constitute well over half the complaints I've heard about PulseAudio in this forum since it was included in -current. Hopefully it's not too late to include this for 14.2.
Distribution: Slackware64-current with "True Multilib" and KDE4Town.

I've built pulseaudio-9.0 using the slackware-source slackbuild script, minus all the patches, installed it, and so far, so good.
I have no idea if I'm still in time but I'll try: should be nice to have sip updated to 4.18 as it's needed to build PyQt5-5.6 (we moved on version 5.6.1 of qt5 on SBo's master branch).
as qt-5.6.1 seems to work fine also with PyQt5-5.5.1 (PyQt5 is a calibre-2.x dependency) the sip upgrade is not essential (maybe it could be in the future but not now), but I have it installed here and seems safe (hope I'm not missing anything).
