The problem is that removing everything related to gstreamer seems to
result in losing OOo, which I don't want to do.  Perhaps I only need to
remove some gstreamer-related packages?

Xine is already the only Backend showing on that screen.  Pulseaudio
shows up under Default Output Device Preference (on the other tab).
However, it is the third option, after my sound card directly HDA Intel
(STAC92xx Analog) and HDA Intel (STAC92xx Digital).  Incidentally,
Esound is below Pulseaudio.  Further, the direct analog output to the
sound card is the only one I hear when I press Test on that screen.
