You may also need to rebuild your Blueman package to disable the Pulseaudio Plugin.
Just go to http://slackware.mirrors.tds.net/pub...e/xap/blueman/ download the build pack, rebuild Blueman, and reinstall it to see if it still requires it. Pulse is supposed to be completely optional as a package.

I'm not even running KDE, at the moment. Blueman just stopped working after installing yesterday's updates and upgrades. Either one of the updates or upgrades broke it or maybe Blueman needs to be updated?

xap/blueman-r708-x86_64-2.txz: Reverted.
Switched back to r708, since the newer repo pull is requiring PulseAudio.
We'll consider what to do about this long term sometime down the road.
Thank you, Mr. Volkerding.

It's probably because the source was geared towards Ubuntu which uses PulseAudio by default as it's main sound server. It can probably be patched out, but knowing what to do to patch it out will take some time.
