Possibly, but Pulse handles any output, for instance such as Firefox or Chrome (with flash)

Not saying pulse is the only solution, just one where you can direct output for each producer.

You don't need PulseAudio to do this. You can do it directly with ALSA. All you need to do is in the app specify the output device to use. XMMS and VLC support this.  

You can do it on the command line also, but you would have to looks at the help to know if the app wants just a card number or needs a whole hardware reference.
