Because it was suggested as a fix for his sound problem in this thread even.  
Pulse-audio is known much more for its troubles than its benefits!

I believe how they removed pulse-audio was with the Synaptic Package Manager 
rather than CLI.  One of the reasons I never wanted Ubuntu on my Kubuntu 
machines was exactly because it imported pulse-audio with it!  However, 
Synaptic Package Manager is a VERY nice application and worth the bit of 
hassle it takes to clean out the more troublesome Ubuntu apps.
