NY00123, what problem did you have using libsdl1.2debian-pulseaudio which you didn't get using libsdl1.2debian-esd ?
Maybe it is a good idea to open a bug in the libsdl1.2debian-pulseaudio, if it isn't working as good the other one.
I believe that, if the goal is to switch everything (or almost) to use PulseAudio, it's better to fix libsdl1.2debian-pulseaudio bugs, so it can be used as default without problems. It's just my opinion, though, I'm not an Ubuntu guru neither an experienced contributor or anything like that.
I think your bug is not a duplicate of this, but adds another relevant thing to resolve for the "cleanup audio mess" task.
