PulseAudio is not dead - the source code is free, you can grab it, build it for your system, and run it till the end of time.
Also, I don't get the whole "shoved it down" part. Nobody can force you to update. If you have a working system on a particular computer that runs eg. Xorg and ALSA, why would you care what's in the newer version?
