Note that when PA is installed, the default ALSA pseudo device routes audio to PA and then PA routes the audio back to ALSA through a direct hardware device. So most non-PA aware applications do use PA without knowing it. Specifying another ALSA device might just work. But then it depends if it is a soft mixing or a direct hardware device. In the later case, only one application can use it at a time. And it may well already be used by PA. Another approach which might be worth considering is to have BRLTTY execute as non-root.
