Now I can't Keep Pulseaudio From Taking over Everything!

I thought I got pulseaudio disabled like I used to but every time I
execute the espeak command or run emacspeak, it keeps using pulseaudio
and killing ALSA until it releases it.  Even paplay works but I have
/etc/pulseaudio/default.pa completely commented out and stupid pulse
keeps rering its ugly head.  Any other ideas on how to stop it in its
tracks? I could uninstall the pulseaudio package but it is required by
gnome-settings-daemon.

This is all on a current up to date Arch Linux box.  Everything seemed
to be fine until I gave pulseaudio a try yesterday.  Now things seem
to be a mess around here.

Any ideas?
