I take the risk of provoking some PA-hatemail, but I
usually can't be bothered to configure alsa at all. It never works out
of the box for me on Debian (maybe it's my Creative Audigy SE that it
doesn't like), and even when I can make it, dmix
still refuses to work, making it so that only one application can play
sound at a time.
As for PA, I don't even know what config options for it look like, I
just install it and there's suddenly sound.
