Now that the 'pulseaudio' package has been moved into the 'extra' repository, there's no reason to keep the "--disable-pulseaudio" line in the 'linphone' PKGBUILD.

You don't necessarily need to "--enable-pulseaudio" and require 'pulseaudio' as a dependency. Just remove the 'disable' argument and make it an optional dependency.
This task depends upon

I've done further investigation and I can now see your dilemma. I have just posted a request to the Linphone ML, which can be viewed here: http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.comp.voip.linphone.user/3843

Having a depends on libpulse is acceptable. Several packages like mplayer do so. This is why we splitted the pulse library out of the pulseaudio package.
The only way to work around this libpulse dependency is through the use of plugins but I'm not sure if upstream wants to go that way as it could be lot of work to implement.
