This is a distinct thing.
My comments are about compilation problems of Alsa on FreeBSD.
I see that pulse is available in FreeBSD ports, but with a lot of dependencies, and
I do not think that at the moment it is a good idea to mingle with that.
For OpenBSD we have sndio, and if that also works for FreeBSD, at the moment I would go for that.
Apart from that, sure, Pulse seems a good option…
