The aplay call was introduced in http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~jockey-
hackers/jockey/trunk/revision/519 for bug 295158. Apparently some sl-
modem types don't appear in /proc/asound/cards. It's indeed a strange
hack, but so is sl-modem in the first place :) Beyond that bug report
I'm afraid I have no idea about this -- I never had such a modem, and
thus I don't have the opportunity to test any change.

I don't know why aplay invokes pulseaudio (that seems wrong, as
pulseaudio usually uses ALSA as a backend), but if passing on the
environment (for DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS etc.) helps, I'm fine with
doing that. The main reason for passing an empty environment was to
ensure that this does not use any localization.
