Looking at this issue again, I notice that even if I'm telling aplay to use a direct ALSA hardware device, pulseaudio's daemon still starts up in the background.
If pa is around, it presents itself as an alsa card - probably card 0. Telling a client to use alsa on a pa system will PROBABLY result in alsa -> pa -> alsa not alsa ...unless you also specify card 1. See /proc/asound/cards.
