@laric: just for information you can easily keep pulseaudio on the same system running xbmc (moreover if you are using one with audio engine, xbmc-xvba or testing)
To avoid issue and conflicts with pulseaudio, you should launch xbmc within a small shell script preceded by "pulseaudio -k" which will stop pulseaudio daemon before launching xbmc (to restart it after xbmc closed use pulseaudio -start)
I've made a lot of tests with dekstop versions,if your xbmc sound config is fine (xbmc Will use Alsa) and if you stop pulseaudio before launching xbmc, everything is ok.
Therefore for must users it's better not keep pulseaudio to avoid having to use this kind of thing
