I already have a patch to build it with webrtc-audio-processing = 0.3 as
that's in unstable, by using an older version of the single file that
uses the library. I think that's enough to unblock things? Then I think,
dropping the patch and updating a Build-Depends would be enough to allow
pulseaudio to go through a potential webrtc-audio-processing transition.

(FYI: I see "Maintainer: Pulseaudio maintenance team" in
webrtc-audio-processing d/control, and last non-NMU upload was in 2016.
But it's OK if you still don't want to go forward with it.)
