I've no idea why on earth such a "recommends" exists in the Ubuntu
package of xvd, since xvd is not supporting Pulseaudio and was never
designed to support it. It should only ask that the GStreamer mixer
plugin (and possibly  xfce4-mixer) are installed, as far as I remember.

Obviously xvd is not maintained since years now, so it might be that the
Xubuntu developers found out how to configure it to make it work with
Pulseaudio. It was just not working back when it was written and so, xvd
should never "require" so to speak Pulseaudio.

Title:
  Upgrade to 13.04 installs pulseaudio

Bug description:
  Upgrading from 12.10 to 13.04 installs pulseaudio.  This causes all
  kinds of audio issues for me.  Removing pulseaudio fixes things.
  Here's what I've found in my dist-upgrade log files.

  My apt.log file contains the following.

    new important dependency: pulseaudio:i386
    Installing pulseaudio as Recommends of xfce4-volumed

  xfce4-volumed was installed with a clean 12.04 install and kept at the
  same version after the 12.10 upgrade.  I'm assuming removing
  xfce4-volumed before upgrading to 13.04 would fix the problem.  Not
  sure how this is done in the upgrade process itself though.
