I still have not understood what is your problem with the apulse
package (which you said you have not installed). Apulse is not used
unless you call mpv or mplayer with:

$ apulse mpv

If your programs experiences problems with pulseaudio, and you have
not sued the syntax above, the problem is either in your program or in
pulseadio.
