Comment:

 You should get:
 PulseAudio:default is invalid or not useable.

 I can't reproduce this problem.

 Steps to reproduce it:
 1-Run mythfrontend with -O AudioOutputDevice=PulseAudio:default

 2-Install Pulse and start Pulse server, start myth, configure it to use
 PulseAudio:default server. Play content. Quit mythfrontend, kill
 pulseaudio server, uninstall pulseaudio server. Start mythfrontend , you
 get the message: PulseAudio:default is invalid or not useable.


 You can't remove the pulse libraries if you have compiled mythtv with
 pulse support, it should be a dependency and removing pulse library should
 also remove all packages depending on pulse libraries. Additionally,
 mythfrontend compiled with pulse support, so linked to pulse libraries,
 wouldn't even start due to missing dynamic libraries.

 On my ubuntu platform, trying to remove the pulse libraries would pretty
 much remove every packages installed on my machine
