As a workaround, have you tried using apulse? It is a pulseaudio emulation for ALSA. Some time ago, I used it successfully to run Skype (which also depends on pulseaudio) without having pulseaudio installed.
I don't know, if the required asoundrc could have impact on real-time pro-audio usage. I won't test it.
I just tested apulse-git successfully, no changes to my alsa setup were needed.
Thank you, I confirm that apulse-git works with Firefox 52.0-1 and an asoundrc isn't required :).

It takes around 1 hour to build Firefox with a 2.8 GHz Celeron dual-core, 8 GiB DDR3 RAM, on a SSD SATA 3.2, 6.0 Gb/s. After building it with "--enable-alsa" ALSA support works again. So for now I'll use Firefox with ALSA support enabled, but next time I'll use apulse from git with Firefox from extra.
