Unless I have a very specific reason for having Pulse on a computer, I
uninstall Pulse and let either ALSA or OSS do all the work. To me,
Pulse is just a whole nother set of mutes and variables to confuse the
matter.

If you need Pulse for Skype, you can use apulse instead.

I usually de-install all of Pulseaudio.
