That's interesting and I was going to try to do that too. However, the 
first message of Synaptic Package Manager, when I removed pulseaudio was 
that ubuntu-desktop would have to be removed too. Looking there, makes 
me reluctant to do so.:

    This package depends on all of the packages in the Ubuntu desktop
    system
    It is also used to help ensure proper upgrades, so it is recommended
    that it not be removed.

So what precisely did you do to scrag pulseaudio?
