With the default config if PulseAudio is going to be used for
something then is must be used for everything. PulseAudio default
config block the sound card, yes... if you don't use the ALSA pulse
plugin then all ALSA apps will have no sound. That's why the Gnome
startup script changes the ALSA config to use the pulse plugin.

Enable PulseAudio using hw:0 without using the ALSA pulse plugin?
Sure, it's a bad idea. Nobody proposes such a thing. But if you use
the ALSA pulse plugin all those apps will have sound.
