This article explains nicely the myriad of linux sound projects and where pulseaudio fits or why to use it. The pulseaudio wiki tells how to set up the alsa driver to route audio to pulseaudio server so that all applications using libalsa (alsa API) can work seamlessly.
I have youtube, xmms and amarok playing simulateneously right now. Did three tracks together sound sweet ever before?
P.S.: I'm not suggesting pulseaudio - it just happens to be the default sound server in most distributions today and it's easier to work with it than around. Things worked even before pulseaudio.
