Is there any instructions on how to compile pulseaudio on android (ARM) platform? It will be awesome to get pulseaudio running on million's phone, tablet and tv. 

Some android devices do use alsa therefore should not be a problem for pulseaudio.

chromium has a similar design with android, it use pulseaudio as backend, so you can take a look at what it did from code:

btw, there's a previous discussion " porting pulse audio to Android"

meanwhile for there's already gstreamer running on android, i think it's not a big problem to make PA work, maybe it's license issue.

Instructions on doing this posted to http://pulseaudio.org/wiki/Android. There are still some build hiccups I'm sorting out but the base work is done. Lots to do before we're a drop-in replacement, though.
