Uh, I don't use pulseaudio at all, just alsa, and I can run audacious,

Of course, I can't set the volume of each individually, but why would
I want to do this in the first place.

Well, I could be wrong, but I thought what John meant was why would he
want to listen to three different things at once.

it's not that anyone wants to listen to those 3 items at the same time
but rather it is very useful to have audio control that permits that
because if you are watching a movie, and you get a telephone call or an
e-mail or a system event wants to sound an alarm, it too should be heard
and at a relative volume.

That is one of the functions of pulseaudio

The function of pulseaudio on my F11 is to squelch all sound :-(
