I am using the stand alone IceCat version 52.3.0 (64-bit), downloaded 
from a GNU repository. I have since I posted last, found a number of 
posts regarding Alsa support being taken out of Firefox (and I assume 
IceCat???). Here is what I did to get Alsa to work:

I added this line to my /etc/apt/sources.list:
deb http://auto.mirror.devuan.org/devuan experimental main

then ran

apt-get update
apt-get -t experimental install apulse

Remember to comment out the repository and run apt-get update again 
after the fact.

As I am running i3wm as my only window manager, I just added "apulse" in 
front of what I already have in my config file, so it now looks like this:
bindsym $mod+b exec apulse ~/bin/icecat/icecat

Everything works fine so far...
