How strange! Do you have a configuration file “~/.asoundrc” or
“/etc/asound.conf” that reroutes ALSA to PulseAudio?
I’m not using PulseAudio on GuixSD and I have sound in media players and
browser alike.

PS: don’t think I’m blocking the use of PulseAudio. If it works with PA
when built with the PA libs (and doesn’t work without it), then it’s
fine to make a dependency on the PA libs, of course. I’m just curious
to learn why rerouting ALSA to PA doesn’t work — because rerouting is
the recommended way to get plain ALSA programmes to work nice with PA.
