Please do not suggest switching to pulseaudio. The idea behind pipewire, along with wireplumber, is they're supposed to be a superior replacement for pulseaudio.
"supposed" is the problem. Anyway, I don't have pipewire nor pulseaudio running on my systems and TDE sound works just fine. So may I ask why you need any of these? (The only I could not get running without pulseaudio/pipewire were bluetooth speakers)
What exactly is it you do have? Firefox sound "requires" pulseaudio, or at least, it did. It's not just TDE sound I want, but sound regardless which of a multitude of apps opened is supposed to produce any sound.
Firefox requires libasound2t64 (>= 1.0.16) on devuan ceres. I remeber some time ago (2 years?) it required apulse to work, but not any more. obs-studio requires libpulse0 (>= 0.99.1), but has only a soft dependency on pulseaudio (which is not installed).
I'm guessing that since you aren't running pulseaudio or pipewire, ALSA provides your sound?
If you're referring to me, the object is to use pipewire/wireplumber, not any more of puls* than may be required by pipewire* or wireplumber*.
