You're welcome to do that even if login sessions use PA. PA releases
the audio devices when idle. And thus your kind of setup works as good
or as bad as it did before. Just use "front:0" or "front:1" as ALSA
audio device, instead of "default" or "pulse".

Oh, and since you seem to hate PA really that much: just disable it!
Just remove alsa-plugins-pulseaudio and you have it back, your naked
ALSA.
