My computer is carried around a lot.
My tower PC is immobile. I've got an iPad to carry around. For the iPad

will switch between my EIZO monitor's speakers via HDMI and the RME
audio card.
It sounds like you have to invest a lot of thought to
work around using
mainstream solutions.
I'm not using a workaround. Firefox could be used with plain alsa, and
still non of the app calculators "spielt ein kleines Musikstück", let
alone that the PC plays vinyl. If required I would use the apulse
"workaround" to use Firefox with plain alsa. That's less effort to
invest, than to care about turning pulseaudio on and off.
