Unhappily, I am still using debian, and my testing was done on unstable.
Obviously I did not invoke mpv (etc) with "apulse mpv", so I was
disturbed with it linking to libpulse-simple.so nevertheless.
This was on a system with no pulseaudio, only alsa. Maybe putting apulse
in its own folder will fix things.

Not sure whether I can try to install that package on debian, but if not
I imagine that I should be able to re-compile from source for a debian
test.

Hope to be running devuan real soon now....
