thanks

This is already done by default.

        $ dpkg -S /usr/share/alsa/alsa.conf.d/pulse.conf 
        pulseaudio: /usr/share/alsa/alsa.conf.d/pulse.conf
        
        $ cat /usr/share/alsa/alsa.conf.d/pulse.conf 
        # PulseAudio alsa plugin configuration file to set the pulseaudio plugin as
        # default output for applications using alsa when pulseaudio is running.
        hook_func.pulse_load_if_running {
        	lib "libasound_module_conf_pulse.so"
        	func "conf_pulse_hook_load_if_running"
        }
        
        @hooks [
        	{
        		func pulse_load_if_running
        		files [
        			"/usr/share/alsa/pulse-alsa.conf"
        		]
        		errors false
        	}
        ]
        
        $ cat /usr/share/alsa/pulse-alsa.conf
        # This file is referred to by /usr/share/alsa/pulse.conf to set pulseaudio as
        # the default output plugin for applications using alsa when PulseAudio is
        # running.
        
        pcm.!default {
            type pulse
            hint {
                show on
                description "Playback/recording through the PulseAudio sound server"
            }
        }
        
        ctl.!default {
            type pulse
        }

IMO libasound2-plugins should
drop /usr/share/alsa/alsa.conf.d/99-pulseaudio-default.conf.example as
it only confuses the issue.
