Yes, as long as pulseaudio still uses ALSA, the mixing of sounds happens within alsa (either via software or in hardware). We ported also for that reason some other, non-KDE/Gnome apps to alsa to avoid blocking sound device without the need of a daemon. (These daemons were always some kind of a problem or at at least a suspect to according to bugzilla). Rodrigo, does one need to care about more when a PA application is running and another system is trying to use ALSA directly ? As it looks for me, PA would be just another layer in between without giving us really needed new functionality for the most apps.
