Do you really need pulseaudio is the real question and the bottom line. 
If not, get rid of it and use the good old alsa which works.

(I didn't start on Ubuntu until Lucid (10.04) so don't really know what 
I am talking about [and so what's new?] here, but wasn't pulseaudio very 
primitive and very much of "the steam engine era" in Ubuntu 9.04?)
