Overview
The Advanced Linux Sound Architecture (ALSA) provides audio and MIDI functionality to the Linux operating system.
Use ALSA on with Applications requiring PulseAudio
Using applications which require PuleAudio on systems which only have ALSA installed can be accomplished through the use of apulse which is a pulse emulator for ALSA.
Install apulse
Install apulse from the AUR using a your preferred package manager or the command:
pamac build apulse
It is built from source so it may take some time to install. Once it is done, create a basic config file using the command:
cp /usr/share/apulse/asoundrc.sample ~/.asoundrc
Using apulse
Using apulse is a simple typing apulse <program> in a terminal. For example:
apulse /usr/lib/firefox/firefox
If all is working, you should now have sound in Firefox without needing pulseaudio
