If pulseaudio is installed, it uses Alsa. Currently we haven't excised
pulseaudio (yet), but there is a possibility we may look to either doing
that or at least maintaining a coherent option for using alsa instead.
With regards to whether the accessibility software (or any audio
producing or consuming software for that matter) uses alsa is largely a
matter of whether that support is compiled in by default these days.
