The two methods can be used. But I think the best is not to use the plugin.
If the plugin is changing and is no longer compatible with Pharo or
conversely you can no longer use this method. At the moment this is not the
case.

While there, disable pulse-audio allows you to use Pharo with no change in
its basic version. What seems to me to be less complicated in case of bugs
on the sound system.

When writing the article for Linux Magazine (a French magazine) I asked
myself this question. Should I write to use the Squeak's plugin or simply
stop Pulse-Audio?

I put myself in the place of a newcomer in Pharo who wants to use the sound
system. Install a plugin from elsewhere to run Pharo could give the image of
a not finished tool. While there, the plugin does not exist and it does not
matter because the sound works with a clear and simple method. It works out
of the box.

After that, in a near future we should have a plugin for Pulse-Audio or
best, Linux should have only one method to access sound, but it's another
story :)
