PA might not (or doesn't - my system has no alsa processes) need alsa processes but it almost certainly using Alsa drivers. lsmod | grep snd lsmod | sound However those depend on what you build as modules vs hard code into your kernel. ls /proc/asound would give you a view into what function, if any, alsa is performing.
