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.
