Well I personally wondered why it does work correctly in Ubuntu while I see
here a merge of both, als and pulse packages, and for example when streaming
with mplayer you clearly see it's pulse who's used:
dpkg -l|grep alsa && dpkg -l|grep pulse :
ii alsa-base 1.0.16-0ubuntu4 ALSA driver configuration files
ii alsa-oss 1.0.15-1 ALSA wrapper for OSS applications
ii alsa-utils 1.0.15-3ubuntu2 ALSA utilities
ii gstreamer0.10-alsa 0.10.18-3 GStreamer plugin for ALSA

The hole thing simply works but I'm not expert enough to declare why
(also note that this is a dpkg -l from a Ubuntu 8.04.3 Hardy (LTS)).
