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?
