For testing purpose the OP could build a package using
pkgname=pulseaudio
pkgver=2015.05.10
pkgrel=1
pkgdesc="Dummy package"
arch=('any')
provides=('pulseaudio')
for a PKGBUILD, install the package, to 'definitively disable' PA.
I don't allow PA being installed on my machine.

Unlikely that ALSA is the culprit, since PA does use ALSA.
