I also have this problem with amarok hogging the sound system. I'm not sure if it's related to having pulseaudio since I don't use it, my first sound preference is plain alsa. Of course libpulse0 and others are installed since many packages depend on it. One strange think is that if I start amarok first then vlc after the sound is mixed together fine. However, if I start vlc first then amarok, amarok takes over and I can't hear vlc anymore.
