Most distros have pulseaudio split up the way it is intended by the authors 
itself: libpulse which apps use trying to contact the pulse-daemon and 
pulseaudio containing the daemon itself.
Thus uninstalling the daemon doesn't force removal of the apps using it "just" 
for sound.

When I say "most" I mean at least debian/ubuntu.

Other than that, the best solution would be to place your own empty, 
executable bash-script called "pulseaudio" in bin to overwrite the execution 
and hope that the init-script doesn't have a fixed path. Otherwise you have to 
remove/disable/overwrite the distributions executable after every 
reinstall/update...

Hope that helps,

Arnold
