I believe this is a matter of configuration in order to make things work well with each other. At https://wiki.freedesktop.org/www/Software/PulseAudio/Documentation/User/PerfectSetup/#alsaapplications there is a snippet which instructs ALSA to output to PulseAudio. Yes, PulseAudio does then output back to ALSA, but it means that any application which outputs to the default ALSA device will get routed through PulseAudio and mixed in as you'd expect. -- For more information, please reread.
