Thanks! I now pushed both patches to master with a couple of changes
(see below). Sorry for the delay.

This didn't work properly. Giving a vorbis file resulted in white
noise, because src/pacat is a libtool script that starts src/.libs/lt-
pacat, and the symlink name doesn't propagate to the new process. These
changes fixed that:

-[ -L "$PA_PLAY" ] || ln -sf pacat $PA_PLAY
-PA_PLAY_PROCESS_NAME="lt-pacat"
+[ -L "$PA_PLAY" ] || ln -sf .libs/lt-pacat $PA_PLAY
+PA_PLAY_PROCESS_NAME="paplay"
