As I understand it, pulseaudio is in "main" and so is only allowed to depend on 
other packages in "main". soxr on the other hand is in "universe", see:
https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/libsoxr

So you may have to work through the process of getting libsoxr moved into main 
before we can update pulseaudio to explicitly depend on it:

Title:
  Enable support for libsoxr

Status in pulseaudio package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  I'd like to ask to enable support for libsoxr-based resamplers in the 
official Ubuntu packages for pulseaudio. The upstream already supports libsoxr 
and automatically detects its availability, so the only change really needed is 
to add the build dependency to debian/control.
   
  The resamplers based in libsoxr offer better quality and better performace 
while introducing more delay compared to the speex resamplers that are used by 
default. The resamplers are documented in the man pages of pulseaudio in Ubuntu 
16.04 but unfortunately are not enabled at build time ('pulseaudio 
--dump-resample-methods' doesn't list them). I've built local packages with 
libsoxr and verified that the resampler works as expected.
