+====== Removing Pulse Audio from Ubuntu 8.10 (Ibex) ======
+The following information was copied from the Ubuntu Forums at the URL below.  I've copied it here for my own reference and to ensure the resource doesn't "go away".  I edited it slightly for readability in this wiki.

+I removed pulse audio because it would often just stop playing audio.  Sometimes I could fix it by killing the pulseaudio processes, sometimes not.  I lived with these problems for months, then I decided to remove it.  I'm glad I did.
+===== Original Authors Words =====
+First things First. Remove the packages though Bash.
+  sudo apt-get remove pulseaudio
+  sudo apt-get install esound
+You may want to back this up.
+  sudo rm /etc/X11/Xsession.d/70pulseaudio
+Now this is done you will want check your Gnome Preferences.
+Under System -> Preferences -> Sound
+Make sure they are all set to 'Autodetect'.
+The only one you will have to set manually to ALSA is 'Sound Capture' under 'Audio Conferencing'.
+Note at this point Pulseaudio is now nolonger an option under these drop menus.
+Under System -> Preferences -> Sessions
+Deselected or Remove the Pulseaudio Manager
+The last part is one I think a lot of people have missed. Your asoundrc's under your Home Directory are still configured for Pulse.
+  cd ~
+  rm .asound* (Again! You may want to back this up)
+One this is done your back to ALSA's default configuration.
+This worked a charm for me and found all my software picked up Dmix and Dsnoop.
+I hope it does wonders for you.. Good Luck.
