[PlanetCCRMA] Pulseaudio / Alsa

[Simon Lewis]

Hi Niels, hi Donald

There appears to be some subtle differences between gnome and kde 
desktops when removing pulseaudio.

On fc12 x86_64 with KDE 4.4.x and Planet CCRMA core packages installed - 
a simple remove all packages except pulseaudio-libs and 
pulseaudio-libs-glib2 was sufficient.

On restarting KDE, KDE automatically picked-up that the pulseaudio sound 
server is unavailable and asks whether the pulseaudio configuration 
should be permanently removed - the answer is a clear yes!

The Planet CCRMA core app package takes care of the RT configuration.
