No, ACLs are unrelated to SELinux. ConsoleKit uses ACLs all over the place.

The proper way to handle this if you use system mode is to either add
a group "audio" or similar give it access to the audio device and
include the "pulse" user in it. Or, simply add the "pulse" user
directly to the ACLs:

  setfacl -m u:pulse:rw /dev/snd/* /dev/dsp/*

or something similar and less brutal.
