Ralf, simply turn off autospawn for pulse if it bothers you that much.
/etc/pulse/client.conf
the line that looks like
; autospawn=yes
change it to
autospawn = no
This will turn off pulseaudio so as the next time you start up, pulse will
not run and you will need to start it manually from command line if you want
to use it.
IMHO pulse is coming along nicely. There are tweaks to improve its
performance ...

Hm, for my experiences, testing several distros, pulseaudio is an evil show

pain, YMMV. Pardon ... I'm quiet now, I don't want start a flame war or any
other annoying thing, lets have fun while having trouble with pulseaudio.
I'm not a Linux specialist, I'm not able to remove pulseaudio without
breaking dependencies for some distros and it cause a lot of pain, while for
64 Studio, where it is removed by the people who made this distro,
everything is ok ... but I'm just a stupid user spreading FUD, so simply
ignore my experiences.
Sorry,

Why not removing Pulseaudio like 64 Studio does?
Ralf, this is clearly not the place to discuss this. Canonical is
searching for a developer, and they can require whatever they want.
It's not you who's going to decide (by x-posting) what's part of a
distro's roadmap and what's not.
Face it, pulseaudio will be the de facto sound system on desktops, and
we're talking desktop here. It integrates very well with the pro
environments, IOW, jack. There's absolutely no reason not to use it for
simple consumer apps (pidgin, skype, flash, video players like vlc or
mplayer).
If you can't get it working yourself, wait for your distro to get it
right. In the meantime, I suggest you don't spread FUD about pulseaudio,
this doesn't help at all.
