Well that sounds easy, but a quick google search is showing that it may not be all that easy.
In my quick test so far, I've managed to completely remove the audio device from the sound settings, and when trying to view things from the gnome-alsamixer I'm not seeing any controls for the Intel HDA audio device (the realtek device actually has channels and volumes, etc).
I'll continue to try getting this working and I'll come edit this post with results, etc when I'm done.
Thanks for the point into the (hopefully) right direction.

So I got what I was looking for on this page: http://wiki.xbmc.org/index.php?title=PulseAudio
The short of it...
You don't have to remove pulseaudio to get the pass-through options to show up in XBMC (in fact you just need to configure it properly).
Just install pavucontrol and get it set up in a way that you prefer (using info found in the link above).
Thanks for the help guys!
