Usually there is no need to recompile or reinstall anything here,
because pulseaudio runs on top of alsa. Just remove pulseaudio
and alsa should work stand-alone.
The quickest one-shot could be "sudo killall pulseaudio", if you
just need one session without pulseaudio.
Maybe you have to remove references to pulse in /etc/asound.conf
or ~/.asound.conf to make applications work.
Or you could try "sudo apt-get remove pulseaudio" (followed by
"sudo apt-get install esound", so you get sound in gnome..)
I am not too sure about the exact commands here, but I can
assure you that something like this has worked for me in the
past, when I needed it.
Basically, you should use the search for "remove pulseaudio" on
ubuntuforums.org. You'll find that you are not alone! ;)
This one also has a section "remove" :
