Doesn't this result in disable prelinking system wide?

Yes, symbol versioning is something to worry about. 

LD_PRELOAD is a neat trick but I've learned the hard way that it's basically a
bad idea for anything other than debugging.  I'm not all that familiar with
pulseaudio yet, but isn't there some other way to get similar functionality?
