[mythtv-users] Fedora 8 + ATrpms mythtv install - pulseaudio?

I'm looking at upgrading my Fedora 7 frontend installs to Fedora 8, and
in my tests the only hurdle was pulseaudio.

I try to keep my frontend systems relatively slim by disabling
unnecessary daemons and such, and my impressions of pulseaudio is that
it is yet another layer of unnecessary bloat.  I'm running straight ALSA
under Fedora 7, but to get everything working under Fedora 8, it
requires tinkering with pulseaudio to talk to ALSA by turning on a
gnome-applet (among other things), enabling ConsoleKit and avahi-daemon
(yuck).

Has anyone tried ripping out the pulseaudio layer successfully with
ATrpms mythtv rpms?
