Thanks for this advice.
I removed everything to do with pulseaudio excepting libpulse0. Removing that
would have also removed VLC and the Spotify client.
This creates doubt about the VLC player as the Spotify client and
Iceweasel still have sound.
I hesitate to file a bug on VLC as the maintainer is frothing at the mouth
about how the debian-multimedia sources has screwed up his work.
I think I'll just leave things as they are here and if I need VLC go across
to sdb.
