Removal of PulseAudio from Ubuntu

For what it is worth add me to the list of people happy with
PulseAudio.   In my opinion we are better off fixing the remaining
issues than ripping it out and replacing it with something else.

It feels like this is a case of the few having issues and the
resulting noise  distracting from a real success.  This is not to
diminish their frustrations since those are legit but threads like
this do not solve anything.
