Specifically:
.............
see
http://fedorasolved.org/Members/fenris02/pulseaudio-fixes-and-workarounds
section
and follow section "To really remove PulseAudio for some reason"...
furthermore you'll want to follow these notes from a bug I need to file:

(08:31:46 AM) ***npm the proper way to uninstall pulseaudio is (1) in sound
> preferences select "no sounds"; (2) in gstreamer-properties, setup specific
> ALSA devices ; (3) 'yum remove alsa-plugins-pulseaudio
> pulseaudio-module-gconf pulseaudio-module-x11 paprefs pulseaudio
> pulseaudio-module-lirc pulseaudio-module-jack pulseaudio-utils' ; (4)
> reboot...

(08:32:20 AM) npm: if you skip step #1, you get a system that doesn't
> respond to mouse clicks in a timely fashion (bug)

(08:32:46 AM) npm: and it takes a minute to switch screens in windows panel
> (bug)

(08:33:23 AM) npm: so either the pulseaudio dependency should be properly
> reflected so that you can't uninstall pulseaudio w/o uninstalling all of
> gnome

(08:33:31 AM) npm: or the bug should get fixed

.................

after editing gstreamer-properties, you might have something like:

.gconf/system/gstreamer/0.10/default/%gconf.xml
