Area effect questions

Burst and Aura state that they do not need line of effect from the origin to a target within their radius.

They say they do need it not to be completely cut off.

Does this mean they work like emanations in PF1, were as long as you can count a path to the other side by going around the barrier, and still be within the radius, you hit?

Because it currently reads like you can cast a fireball at the middle of a 30 foot wall, and still have the same area of damage as if the wall wasn't there.

Also, cone and line don't say how they are affected by barriers.
