This really doesn't make any sense as:
1. Pulse let's go of the soundcard when it's not needed (suspend-on-idle)
2. If you enable pulse then you should be enabling all the ways in which
pulse can integrate with other sound systems such as:
* Enable alsa-pulse plugin
* Use padsp when launching oss applications
* Configuring applications to use native pulse support when available
If you enable these things and set things up correctly, no other api will
be actually talking to the h/w directly but will actually be going through
pulse.
