I send the PKGBUILD and the package with a second mail. For good reasons
only the PKGBUILD came through the list. I could send the package
off-line, but it's more secure to build it yourself using the PKGBUILD.
Inside of the directory where the PKGBUILD is run
makepkg
then as root run
pacman -U pulseaudio-dummy-1.0-1-any.pkg.tar.xz
