I think it is possible for distributions to get Pulseaudio right. Sabayon
and Linux Mint seem, in my experience, to be two that have done so. But even
so, unless you have a specialized need for Pulseaudio, which apparently may
include very high-end audiophile applications, removing it seems generally
harmless.
High end audiophile applications like having more than one sound
source running at a time?
