This is Beowulf, not Chimaera, but Firefox works fine with ALSA here,
including splitting input and output between different devices, etc.

$ cat ~/.asoundrc 
pcm.!default {
type asym
playback.pcm {
type plug
slave.pcm "dmix"
}
capture.pcm {
type plug
slave.pcm "hw:2,0"
} 
}

I arrived at hw:2,0 (card 2, subdevice 0 - my USB webcam) for capture based
on:

$ arecord -l
 List of CAPTURE Hardware Devices 
card 0: PCH [HDA Intel PCH], device 0: ALC892 Analog [ALC892 Analog]
  Subdevices: 1/1
  Subdevice #0: subdevice #0
card 0: PCH [HDA Intel PCH], device 2: ALC892 Alt Analog [ALC892 Alt Analog]
  Subdevices: 1/1
  Subdevice #0: subdevice #0
card 2: C525 [HD Webcam C525], device 0: USB Audio [USB Audio]
  Subdevices: 1/1
  Subdevice #0: subdevice #0

We're plugging away at a wiki where we folks can easily document this
stuff.

My solution was to simply blacklist the module for the HDMI
audio. Glad you got it to a state that works for you.

I can't speak to any of the other browsers, but can tell you I get
sound in firefox-esr on a Chimaera install without pulseaudio, and
without apulse. Removing pulseaudio is all I did, I didn't do anything
to firefox itself.

..try apulse $them, at least the firefox people said they 
"would only support PulseAudio" a while back.

After a fair bit of searching `in turns out that
/etc/asound.coinf and/or ~.asoundrc were missing

Entering (/etc/asound.conf)
for system wide setting.

pcm.!default {
type hw
card 1
}

ctl.!default {
type hw   
card 1
}

and a reboot fixed it.

Entering (~.asoundrc)
for oersonal(per login) setting

defaults.pcm.!card 1
defaults.ctl.!card 1

YMMN, but that is all I need as I do not have any HDMI speakers or USB
speakers, or bluetooth speakers.

This fixed it for vlc, qasmixer and alsamixer in that they correctly
took the speakers I wanted as default and I didnt have to manually
select the motherboard sound chip.

I'm still working on why the browsers(falkon & firefox-esr) and
quiterss(what ever browser it loads) are not playing sound.
