A few weeks back I posted a message that basically summed up to what you describe here. alsalib doesn't detect my sound device, so e.g. audacity won't work. Browsers, mplayer, etc work fine. I'm steadily working to the point where I can dive into this deep enough to figure out the problem but I'm not there yet. Maybe next week.
