I thought that I looked there: in the apulse_0.1.9-2.git from the
devuan pool. I didn't see the usual source files there, but maybe I am
out of date.

OK. Sorry. As I said earlier, I am still on debian testing. I don't
recall precisely, but I am sure that I just installed the debian apulse
package after someone (you?) posted a note about apulse on this list.
It worked find with firefox, but a day or two later I found the problem
with mpv and mplayer.

As I said, I did *not* use $ apulse mpv, just $ mpv.

It was the apulse libraries being dynamically linked by default.

If I had that package installed :-)

That looks right. I have done further testing here and mpv does not pick
up the apulse libraries by default in a situation like that.
Maybe the original debian package that I tried was misconfigured. Anyway
Devuan clearly has it right, as usual.

Sorry for the noise.
