Like on Debian, the way to do so is clear:

apt purge pulseaudio

I find no reason to keep useless packages installed. Like other potentially
harmful packages (network-manager, gvfs, ...), it's a reasonable assumption
that if pulseaudio is installed, sound can be routed there.

You can't really have the sound card used both by Pulse and by raw ALSA at
the same time.
