My apologies, I didn't think about that.

[rocketmouse at archlinux ~]$ pacman -Qi pulseaudio
Name           : pulseaudio
Version        : 2013.08.18-1
Description    : Dummy package
[snip]

I don't care if a package has got a hard dependency to PA or if not.

Since the OP is using GDM, I suspect he anyway has got a hard dependency
to PA, unless he isn't using

[rocketmouse at archlinux ~]$ pacman -Qi gnome-settings-daemon-nopulse
Name           : gnome-settings-daemon-nopulse
Version        : 3.14.1-1
Description    : The GNOME Settings daemon without PulseAudio
[snip]

[rocketmouse at archlinux ~]$ pacman -Si gdm
[snip]
Depends On     : gnome-shell
[snip]
[rocketmouse at archlinux ~]$ pacman -Si gnome-shell
[snip]
Depends On     : [snip] gnome-settings-daemon [snip]
