There's apulse but it's a piece of poo -- at least on my main home box
(which happens to be my only non-phone machine with sound output hardware
attached) it produces a loud noise every single time an unrelated sound
starts while an apulse-wrapped program is running.

I did not investigate what this bug is caused by -- I have no real need for
sound in a browser thus it wasn't worth my tuits yet -- but here you have a
report that apulse is buggy for at least one person.
