another pulseaudio horror story

Greetings;

Add me to the list of folks who had to nuke as much of pulseaudio as I could 
without ripping out 2/3rds of kde.

And, why couldn't a killall kill it?   I had to install htop, highlight its 
top deamon in the list, and send it a SIGKILL, and the audio started working 
in the middle of a word instantly.

This may be a good utility, but first it has to be able to find ALL installed 
audio facilities (it only found the nforce2 ac97 crap), not just the crap on 
the motherboard for starters.  And it should NOT putz with an audio system 
(my SBO-400 audigy 2 value card) it cannot find, that is inexcusable.

Now, how can I get rid of the last piece of it?, without being forced to use 
gnome, or is that the actual under the table agenda here?

Cheers, Gene
