Basically padsp is a simple script that only preloads libpulsedsp.so(x86_64 version of it for x86_64 system). While 32 bit application requires 32 bit library there is no way it will work. The only workaround that I know is to copy from 32 bit libpulsedsp package libpulsedsp.so to /usr/lib32 and LD_PRELOAD=/usr/lib32/libpulsedsp.so for 32 bit applications. However this is similar to Stanislav workaround and can be confusing for novice ubuntu users. I've noticed that Fedora solved this issue some time ago, see https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=376721. There must be more user friendly way to handle this. Maybe it would be enough to additionally provide a 32bit version of libpulsedsp.so on x86_64 systems as Fedora users suggested.

LD_PRELOAD-ing /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libpulsedsp.so (with full path) works. I assume this got broken with multiarch-support. I know this is a dupe of #218093, but it got closed as won'tfix, since there is no use for padsp.
