I can listen to the sound events of the desktop and CDs (with the gnome utility) but I can't listen to wav or mp3 files using the alsaplayer utility. It took me a long time getting into account that I had to install the libesd provided by ALSA (libesd-alsa), but I don't know if there is any other library or program that I have to install.

To play WAV's a MP3's on most popular/useful sound players/editors these days, you'll have to use OSS emulation. Most alsa drivers (for xmms, for example) aren't the greatest.. and who really wants to use alsaplayer anyway?
Make sure you compile/install alsa-oss on your system and then make sure that the module is loaded (use modconf in debian to check which modules are currently available/installed for alsa).
cheers,
Matt
