Unfortunately pulseaudio 12.2-1 did still FTBFS on various
architectures, e.g. on arm64[1]:

,----
| max deviation: 1 n=307
| 0%: Checks: 1, Failures: 1, Errors: 0
| tests/volume-test.c:148:F:volume:volume_test:0: Assertion 'mdn <= 300' failed
`----

Similar on armhf, i386, s390x and sparc64.

Cheers,
