Put a custom ~/.asoundrc that overrides the settings in
/etc/alsa/pulse-default.conf . Why should the test code not work with
pulseaudio, though? It should be transparent to ALSA applications
(there are some compatibility issues due to the unexpected way some
applications use ALSA, so if this is one of those cases, you might
want to file a bug against pulseaudio)
