I have followed all the instructions for building PulseAudioOSX given in the Wiki page, and have installed PulseAudioOSX-Installer-1.pre7.pkg successfully.

just in case Google brought you here. To use pulseaudio in mac, comment out module-detect part in default.pa. I'm using brew, so it's located at /usr/local/etc/pulse/default.pa

and then run pulseaudio as usual

That worked for me to. Excellent suggestion @neofreko. Though I have not heard audio yet. But I have come further along.
