I don't think you can remove *every* piece of pulse. Somewhere/somewhen,
I saw a comment that alsa now needs the pulseaudio-libs. So I ended up
with the following chunk of script in my 'dependencies' script (the
whole thing is on the wiki...now a little out of date, but not too badly).
This is for FEDORA...but probably only needs some name changes to work
on other distros. So maybe you should try a 'yum install pulse*' and
then run this ( with only the fedora Everything and updates repos
enabled *and no others* (hence the '-y --nogpgcheck'):
echo " ********************************* "
echo " Install alsa audio files"
yum -y --nogpgcheck install alsa-firmware \
alsa-lib alsa-lib-devel alsa-tools \
alsa-tools-firmware alsa-utils alsamixergui
echo ""
echo " ********************************* "
echo ""
echo ""
echo " Now remove pulse audio files mythtv does not need"
echo ""
echo " Do NOT use 'remove pulseaudio*' as this will remove
pulseaudio-libs"
echo " which will kill gdm and other core programs."
echo ""
yum -y remove pulseaudio alsa-plugins-pulseaudio pavucontrol \
pulseaudio-utils gstreamer-plugins-pulse \
pulseaudio-core-libs akode-pulseaudio
echo ""
echo " ********************************* "
rm -rf /etc/pulse
rm -rf /root/.pulse*

I may wish to offend you again in the future.
