In the menu system, Tools to System Tools to Configure your 
computer to Hardware to Sound Configuration.  Uncheck the 
pulse-audio stuff.

If your system is currently running 64-bit, you should be able to 
install or copy over the source for your kernel of choice and do 
a make oldconfig
to use the config of your currently running OS.  Kernels can be funny
things, though, for someone as ignorant as I am; I have always 
found it
a good idea to go through the make config routines for each new 
kernel.

If your newly compiled kernel breaks your kernel, you get to keep 
the pieces.  Be adventurous!  (Back up everything first, of course.)

Cheers!
