I personally can't stand pulse, and I'm not the only one:

There is more where that came from. The only reason I tolerate it is
because removing pulseaudio also removes gnome-core among others. I'm
all for choice, and believe that those who want pulse in devuan should
be able to install it. I would also however love to go back to the
good old days of squeeze where some many things didn't depend on
pulse, and I could get speech from orca with only alsa, or even just
oss installed. Just my $0.01 worth.
