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. Is this right ?
