Apparently, sound works under VLC (default > settings) , but not on Totem, flash or mpg123. I had the same problem. Sound is being sent to /dev/dsp0 by default, which is the NV card. Try setting hw.snd.default_unit with sysctl. Probably "sysctl hw.snd.default_unit=4" would work, from what I see, you should hear sound if you cat a file to /dev/dsp4.
