As has been shown by the BSDs, you do not need PulseAudio, or any other sound daemon, sound server, etc, in order to have non-blocking, multi-source/single-output sound setup.

Just because Linux can't do it, doesn't mean it's not possible, nor that it should be avoided.

Yeah, great, you can do all the flaming horror of sound mixing in kernel space. Thanks but no thanks.
