It looks like you would need to somehow edit/disable:
/lib/systemd/user/pulseaudio.service
Also, since this is not actually a bug I am going to mark it as invalid.
But you are free to keep discussing the issue here.

Title:
Pulseaudio cannot be kept from starting or respawning
Status in pulseaudio package in Ubuntu:
Invalid
Bug description:
On my freshly installed system, I need to run pulseaudio in system
mode. Alas, by default, pulseaudio is run in user mode, and is set to
respawn, so that I cannot kill the user process and start pulseaudio
in system mode.
I tried:
1. Editing /etc/pulse/client.conf, setting autospawn = no. This did nothing.
2. Removing the file /etc/pulse/client.conf.d/01-respawn-something. I cannot
even begin to fathom why such a file would exist. Anyway, this did nothing.
3. I removed the file /usr/bin/start-pulseaudio. Why .... Of course, this
did nothing.
4. I removed the file /etc/xdg/autostart/pulseaudio.desktop. Why on earth do
you implement four different ways to annoy your users? On the other hand, this
did NOTHING.
User mode is still starting, and respawning is enabled.
What the heck do I have to do to get rid of user mode pulseaudio?
Could you please clean up this clusterfuck?
