Hi,
I've looked over some of the previous posts regarding ALSA and sound, and I haven't been able to figure things out for myself, so here goes:
After a fresh install of Hoary, I checked System --> Prefs --> Multimedia... and tested ESD, OSS, and ALSA. ESD was the one output which works.
I would like to get ALSA working, as I've heard it will allow multiple programs to use the same output (have 2 songs playing at once....if I really wanted to).
Here is some information which might be relevant:

Thanks for taking a look, and hopefully I can get this thing sorted out.
