Just edit rkhunter configuration file like this:

$sudo gedit /etc/rkhunter.conf

and add this line to the file:

ALLOWDEVFILE=/dev/shm/pulse-shm-*


After it will look like this:

# Allow the specified files to be present in the /dev directory and not
# regarded as a suspicious file. One file per line (use multiple
# ALLOWDEVFILE lines), wildcards accepted.
#
#ALLOWDEVFILE=/dev/abc
ALLOWDEVFILE=/dev/shm/pulse-shm-*
