Sorry, my bad. I understood you needed to use a program that needed
pulse audio without it; in this case apulse could help
However, if your problem is allowing to use the sound output to
multiple programs at the same time. I had a similar problem and I
solved it using dmix.
In my .asoundrc I had this pcm:
pcm.PCH {
type asym
playback.pcm {
type plug
slave {
pcm {
type dmix
ipc_key 9175930
ipc_key_add_uid true
slave {
pcm "hw:PCH"
}
}
}
}
capture.pcm "hw:PCH"
}
