I tried that and found that the gnome applet for controlling the volume
and mixer controls won't work without pulse.  You can use some other app
to change the volume, I suppose, but I didn't bother to try it.  Seems
like a losing battle in the long run.  Maybe if we wait long enough pulse
will actually become useful to ordinary everyday users.
