I installed some time ago from mozilla.org version is 63.0.1 and there is no
alsa in the about:buildconfig. Actually neither alsa nor PA.

I have heard that after investing so much time in PA they decided to
obsolete it, but it has been adopted by so many applications that it is
hard to go back now.

I've been following PA recently (since v.8) and should admit that 12.2
(which is in buster - I think actually it is 12.4, but not sure anymore) is
the best version ever. I compiled debian packages at 12.2 for stretch and I
must admit all my use cases work.
