It is a choice. If you, either of you, do not like it you should disable it.
But I seriously doubt that Pulseaudio will 'just go away' because you don't
like it. ;-)
You misunderstand me. It's not that I dislike PA, I dislike *all* the
sound systems on Linux because I don't understand them and have never
seen a clear explanation of how they all fit together and what they do.
It seems to me (and it isn't the first time I've made the point) that
there's a gaping hole where a unified model should be. Maybe I'm just
stupid but I seem to see a lot of different models with overlapping
functionality and no clear relation between them. And every time someone
comes up with a new architecture (like PA) we have N+1 systems where
previously we had N.
In fact the mixer issue isn't even related to PA since I use Kmix.
