Don't forget to mask pulseaudio, just disabling it isn't enough.

The difference seems to be:

disabled - the service is not started automatically

masked - the service can't be started at all, even explicitly requested by user or app

On Ubuntu at least, I had to mask it otherwise pulseaudio was started again on reboot despite being disabled.
