I personally recommend to stick to apulse (or pulseaudio proper). If building firefox, then there is native ALSA and JACK support that can be built in (alsa is enabled automatically if pulseaudio is disabled), however that support is a bit dodgy/untested at times. Even with firefox-bin the ebuild can use patchelf (modifies the binary when USE="alsa -pulseaudio") to cause it to automatically use media-sound/apulse's library which will output sound through libasound(alsa) instead. While upstream wants you to use pulseaudio, you can get sound from firefox without pulseaudio.

My objective is to have pulseaudio only for firefox and absolutely nothing else. I know that firefox has been requiring pulseaudio for a while (in order to get sound at least.).
