Sound now works perfectly - just the way it should.
I cannot discern any important loss of function from the deleted 34
packages so far. aplay, vlc, xmms, mythfrontend and even
skypeforlinux all work fine with alsa.
pulseaudio should just go away!

Where do I sign?. Unfortunately I have a LinuxMINT system w AMD APU
and where audio over HDMI never actually worked.
I purchased three cheap USB Sound adapters in the hope of getting
audio out that way, but I don't get sound from those either.
I ended up removing pulseaudio but couldn't get alsa to work either,
so I now have a sound-less system just like in my AMD 386 running OS/2
back in 1993 before the SoundBlaster 16 arrived.
To paraphrase Midnight Oil lyrics... "Some say that's progrsss, I say
