 If you remove everything with "pulse" above you'll get much better picture. Don't add something that should not have been existed in the first place. Don't forget that OpenAL can perfectly work with ALSA directly. BTW where is ALSA/OSS there in your "pictures"?

Even better, there are native OpenAL drivers on some platform that talk directly to sound hardware.

It's not a lie, it's reality - Wine worked, continues to work, and will work perfectly without PA, using already existing OSS and ALSA sound backends. And in the future using OpenAL as the multi-platform standardized backend.
