So, I installed alsa and pulseaudio and alsa plugin then made simlink 
/etc/sv/alsa to /var/service and /etc/sv/pulseaudio to /var/service as well 
but system is not detecting any soundcard. alxamixer returns blank and 
nothing to configure. What went wrong?

OK I added both alsa and pulseaudio sim link to /var/service and now 
"speaker-test -t wav -c 2" is making "front left," "front right" sound. 
However when I go into i3 and go to youtube, HTML5 player is completely 
silent. How could this be?

$ speaker-test -t wav -c 2

I want to bump this because I am having a very similar problem. However, it 
showed up once I switched my DE from MATE to Cinnamon. My audio was working 
just fine beforehand, and it has stopped working now. I have added 
pulseaudio as a service, and my problem is the same, as if there is no 
audio device connected.

The pulseadio service is confusing and not needed, its used if you want a 
system wide pulseadio daemon and that is definitely not the preferred way 
of running pulse.
Normally pulse should start automatically in your desktop session if its 
required, if that doesn't work, maybe `start-pulseaudio-x11 &` in your 
xinitrc helps.

The solution to my problem was that I was missing  alsa-plugins-pulseaudio. 
It sounds like you already have that installed, so I'm not sure what your 
problem is.
