PulseAudio uses ALSA to talk to the hardware. It also uses it to collect all the applications that don't talk its native protocol.

pulse audio operates as software interface so to increase audio versatility but it also increase the cpu usage. Alsa involves directly the audio hardware so it is very useful when a dedicated audio processor is present on the system. More hardware is involved, the better system is.

Isn't Pulseaudio more like an alternative to alsa-lib, where both Pulseaudio and alsa-lib use alsa drivers?

This reminds me I need to get PulseAudio off my machine again, kinda keep the libs for Wasteland2DC, but that -400 ms sound de-sync in mplayer2 is fked-up.
