Ubuntu 12.04 is a bit old to install PulseAudio 5, even 14.04 will ship PulseAudio 4, see the dedicated package page.

If you really need the latest version, I would rely on the PulseAudio testing ppa, which provides a properly packaged version of PulseAudio 5 for 14.04:

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:ubuntu-audio-dev/pulse-testing
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install pulseaudio

Well every thing is described well on the link you've provided. If I am right, You would not be able to understand the commands and the steps written there. You have to follow the same step and there is no other way. I can help you to just understand what is going there. :)

  1. The file which you can download from here is nothing but the source file which you can compile, make and install in any system. same you've to do in your system. So the Package Information section will give you the source file.

  2. PulseAudio Dependencies: section tells you about the packages which will be required by PulseAudio5. Required and Recommended packages are necessary and you've to install them first before you can install PulseAudio5. Though you can neglect Optional packages.
