After a check of synaptic, I have noticed that removing, and even purging pulseaudio does not remove many of its component parts, which parts continue to function, uselessly spinning the wheels looking for pulseaudio. Gnome-volume-control applet is only one of them. One of the sound apps that is called up in firefox clearly tries to "grab" pulsuaudio, and starts the volume-control applet running. In firefox, when the application says "this media requires a plug-in" the suggested plug-in is likely to require pulse, because the system does not check whether pulse is there or not. Clearly, removing pulseaudio is tricky and requires its own page of documentation, at the very least. The good situation would be to have the --purge command remove ALL related programs that grab it, like gnome-volume-control.
