Thank you very much for that link! I will try it when I get home
mgol, I THANK YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I finally removed the Pulseaudio virus! It could hit up to 35% in CPU usage.
I think I should blog about this!
Thank you Hugo Alvarado
Here is the full command sequence to get rid of pulse with Lucid, that worked for me, based on the posts above. Just copy and paste onto the terminal:
Now reboot, log in, and add to the panel the "Volume Control" applet, by right-clicking on the panel and selecting "Add to the panel...". By clicking on the new applet and selecting "Volume Control", you can have access to all sound properties.Code:sudo cp /usr/share/alsa/alsa.conf /usr/share/alsa/alsa.conf.bak sudo sed /usr/share/alsa/alsa.conf.bak -e 's/\"\/usr\/share\/alsa\/pulse.conf\"/#\"\/usr\/share\/alsa\/pulse.conf\"/g' > /usr/share/alsa/alsa.conf sudo apt-add-repository ppa:dtl131/ppa sudo apt-get update sudo apt-get dist-upgrade sudo apt-get install esound esound-clients esound-common libesd-alsa0 alsa-base alsa-tools alsa-utils alsa-oss linux-sound-base python-alsaaudio gnome-media libsdl1.2debian-alsa sudo apt-get purge libcanberra-pulse pulseaudio pulseaudio-esound-compat pulseaudio-module-bluetooth pulseaudio-module-gconf pulseaudio-module-udev pulseaudio-module-x11 gstreamer0.10-pulseaudio pulseaudio-utils pavucontrol

Why to install esound? ALSA is enough with its mixing capabilities, I guess.
I would also move the line:
to the beginning. Otherwise some packages are installed twice - from standard repository and then upgraded, it's a waste of bandwidth.Code:sudo apt-add-repository ppa:dtl131/ppa

I have never found it necessary to install any of the esound stuff either. I also have not installed any extra alsa stuff beyond what is included in a default Ubuntu 10.04 install.
Just removing pulseaudio and gstreamer0.10-pulseaudio will disable pulse audio and take almost all of the pulseaudio related packages away too.
Just run gstreamer-properties in the terminal after removing pulseaudio and set everything to alsa. I can control all the sound levels just fine with alsamixer in the terminal. Some of those alsa packages (e.g., alsa-base and alsa-utils) are already part of a default Ubuntu 10.04 install.
Installing the extra alsa packages will not hurt anything though; and it does give some extra GUI control over sound properties.
I don't bother with that ppa repo either.

Well, I have followed your instructions, but now I cannot open Sound Recorder. I attached the error message as a screenshot.
Edit: I have to add that there are no "Sound Preferences" in the Preferences menu anymore.
