Hello Mike,

I'm totally ignorant about packaging for CCRMA.  But I notice that the 
PulseAudio packages are coming directly from Fedora.  In Fedora 10, 
it's pulseaudio 0.9.14-3.fc10.

Is it even possible for CCRMA to remove or disable PulseAudio?

The good news is that in Fedora 10, you can uninstall PulseAudio. 
Another person has said that you must keep:  pulseaudio-libs
on your system or things get upset.  I still have pulseaudio-libs 
installed, but everything else is uninstalled.

Best,
Stephen.
