Good time of the day, Harry.

[Y/n/q/?] I would recommend to try to remove/purge the "unresolved" manually after You have removed the pulse-audio. Also, I have noted that there is difference in abilities on removal that depends on what tool You use - thus one thing is aptitude and another dpkg - where first will weep about dependencies unsatisfied, the second one may simply do what was required. It is not always the case but experience will bless Your life. :) In nay way try different solutions w/ different tools. (I aware some may say it is absolutely bad idea to mix the tools) - but I suppose dpkg is used in anyway for aptitude or apt-get, so it is no sin - to use both in some extremal cases - like pulse audio. I never had a problem in purging the package yet remaining the functionality of my systems (speaking about desktops only and using sound in Debian).
