Comment 108 for bug 198453

This is a bug report, not a forum.

Pulseaudio's current state is not perfect, and it might really be the future, or not. If this is bringing trouble to any of you, just uninstall it. It will require uninstalling ubuntu-desktop also, but this will only be needed when you upgrade to the next release, so this is really a non-issue at this time.

Without pulseaudio, alsa works with everything else, so this is what everyone complaining here should use. Please stop spamming the report, unless you have new information to add. (And no, I'm not a developer, nor related to Ubuntu or canonical in any sense).
