All UbuntuStudio packages are in the regular distribution as well, I
think. The intrepid rt-kernel does not work on my machine.
Compiz is not used by default, I think, certainly not in fluxbox. You
can safely remove it. About junking pulseaudio: that's exactly what I
did, without any harm. On the whole I'm not that satisfied with Intrepid
and for now I keep Hardy on my laptop.
Keep an eye on http://www.getdeb.net/ for the most up-to-date packages.
