Welcome to the neighborhood, kedaha.  May your perspective enrich the community.

Thank you!
I've used OSS4 for several years, since Debian squeeze, in fact. OSS4 is not available in Debian9 but of course, is available in Devuan, which I 've now changed my Debian jessie to, where it continues to sound very good.

There's no support for jack in firefox, but there might be a way to do it through PA.

This is my first post so I've chosen this topic because I'm an OSS4 user and intend to post about it some time.

The computer's 3.5mm jacks do simple stereo (and mic) only; no digital-out RCA jack.
(Some time ago I remember a nice writeup that noted dmix is useful for ALSA …)
On other systems,
I may want one app to send AC3/5.1 to speakers while another brings stereo to headphones.
Can ALSA handle that?
(note - my original post was about ordinary users' accessibility to controls, not a promotion of PA.)

or analog stereo via RCA from HDMI device.

Well that part is simple and should work fine with alsa, if your speaker/receiver setup takes a conventional RCA input, just make or buy a patch cable and use the headphone output from your computer.

analog stereo via RCA from HDMI device (sorry!)
(My headphones handle analog stereo via 3.5mm; just not the same.)
What does ALSA (with or without apulse) offer?
Hotplug auto-sense?
Format selection (FLAC, AAC, DTS, AC3 … 5.1, stereo)?
List-and-select sound-circuits, source/sink connections?
A fully-functional GUI or Full Manual?
Easily-edited self-documenting plain-text scripts?

Unless someone thinks substituting apulse and/or ALSA is a better idea?

If this turns into a discussion regarding apulse inclusion in the Devuan repos etc.it can be moved to Discussion > Devuan.  apulse has been discussed on the dng mailing list and Steve Pusser has already gotten apluse to fool FF 52.  So it's on our radar.  If someone tries to install apluse and can't get it working then that is a legitimate Support issue.  Welcome to the forum btw.  smile

Nothing else (I could find) had a viable GUI, or even just accurate comprehensible documentation. Just sayin'.
