Forgive my ignorance, but why is running avahi a problem? It was on by default
in all Fedora installations that I can remember ever installing. Also, it
seems that a lot of things happen to make use of it:

I admit I have never used it so far, but I don't see why having avahi running
makes a network "improper".
To answer your question, I don't know if pulseaudio can be made to work over a
network without avahi. But given that Lennart Poettering is the lead developer
for both pulseaudio and avahi, I wouldn't be surprised if the answer is "no".
Best, :-)
