Not only.  For some packages it=E2=80=99s a compile-time choice.

Indeed.  I just checked on Debian and the situation is similar.  It=E2=80=
=99s
doing something quite sophisticated; from
/usr/share/alsa/alsa.conf.d/pulse.conf:

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
# PulseAudio alsa plugin configuration file to set the pulseaudio plugin as
# default output for applications using alsa when pulseaudio is running.
hook_func.pulse_load_if_running {
        lib "libasound_module_conf_pulse.so"
        func "conf_pulse_hook_load_if_running"
}

@hooks [
        {
                func pulse_load_if_running
                files [
                        "/usr/share/alsa/pulse-alsa.conf"
                        "/etc/asound.conf"
                        "~/.asoundrc"
                ]
                errors false
        }
]
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

I tried it on GuixSD and couldn=E2=80=99t get it to work though.

Ludo=E2=80=99.
