Here's a data piece that might be helpful.

Firefox plays youtube videos on my Void DDD (Daily Driver Desktop). The
pulseaudio package isn't installed but the following are:

[*] apulse-0.1.13_2
[*] libpulseaudio-16.1_1
[*] pulseaudio-devel-16.1_1
[*] pulseaudio-utils-16.1_1
[*] pulsemixer-1.5.1_2
[*] libpulseaudio-32bit-16.1_1
[*] apulse-dbg-0.1.13_2

Nothing related to pulse is running:

ps ax | grep pulse

The preceding command yields nothing but that grep command.

HTH,
