I only have got one tower PC for audio production as well as
for "averaged" desktop usage. Again, to watch a video I use plain alsa.
If an MUA or a script should notify me by sound, I'm using the bell/pc
speaker beep.

Non of the desktop app calculators I'm using does produce sound, there
is no key I could mouse click to play "ein kleines Musikstück".
To run two sound servers instead IMO is absurd.
It is convenient for a dual use machine, a machine which is sometimes
used for typical desktop use and sometimes used for music production.
When using pulseaudio for normal desktop applications, applications
like firefox and vlc connect to pulse by default. When I want to
change to music production configuration, just disconnect two ports
from the pulse source and all desktop apps are disconnected from my
audio interface. When I want to have sound from desktop applications
again, I just connect the two ports from pulse jacksource to my audio
output again and all desktop applications are available for sound
again. Ralf will not find that useful, some people do.
