You *can't* replace ALSA with pulseaudio, lower ALSA API remains in the kernel anyway, you only replace userland APIs. This by the way can even grow up to ALSA API (kernel) -> OSS (userspace) -> PulseAudio. Or even worse: Lower ALSA -> Lower PulseAudio -> PulseAudio Network Abstraction Server -> Upper PulseAudio and then probably you have to use Upper ALSA API. Compare with the default ALSA stack: Lower ALSA (kernel) -> Upper ALSA (userspace) And almost the same with OSS. As you see PulseAudio also clutters users' systems.
