There's no Pulseaudio on my system. So I don't get centralized individual volume controls for each of my sound sources. Boo hoo hoo hoo hoo. When I need to use the Microsoft sabotaged Skype, which requires Pulseaudio, I run it via apulse instead, and it works just fine. No reason to use Pulseaudio itself. IMHO Alsa is sufficient. Once I built a Manjaro-OpenRC system with no Pulseaudio AND no Alsa. Just OSS. Worked great, played Youtube videos just fine. I've never again been able to do that.
