You have alsa-drivers and alsa-lib
alsa-drivers are the last step in the audio chain. alsa-lib gives acess
to working with them. pulse, jack ,etc.. communicate with alsa-lib when
they talk to the sound card.

Thanks for the awesomely quick response! Now all i have to do is figure
out how to change the pulseaudio sink (after i eat my xmas dinner).
I think i may have always been wrong about alsa. I assumed that alsa was
always the last part of an audio chain. It's the kernel module drivers
that are always the last step, not alsa. The alsa team just happens to
work on them. Alsa is really just a server like pulse, jack, or esd (god
help you).
