I have not "built pulseaudio from jhbuild", but just to complicate 
matters, Ubuntu 12.04 runs PulseAudio 1.1 with the jack detection 
patches backported.

So for a standard installation of Ubuntu 12.04, installing the 
libpulse-dev header package makes the new sound UI compile - well, as 
long as you don't add the explicit requirement on PA 2.0...
