Just drop the pulseaudio-gconf dependency (you might still need a gconf depend unless you patch out the shared lib dep). The relatively obscure stuff it's used to configure can still be accessed using paprefs, which has been ported to the new interface.
"The GConf dependency can now be avoided
paprefs has so far required module-gconf to be loaded in the PulseAudio daemon, which is bad, because the GConf project is deprecated and unmaintained. paprefs 1.0 is expected to be released shortly, and that will use GSettings instead of GConf."
(<https://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/Software/PulseAudio/Notes/12.0/>)
Since Plasma's Pulseaudio widget depends on pulseaudio-gconf, which would be removed with the update, pacman complains. I guess we have to wait for paprefs 1.0 to land in the Arch repos and maybe notify KDE devs.
I worked around it for now by ignoring pulseaudio and libpulse while updating my system.
