I shutdowned KDE with "/etc/init.d/kdm" stop and tried "aplay
/usr/share/sound/...". Did not work.

When I type "hw:1" I get the reported error message again. No effect
with "hw:0", but also no sound.

I have to check this one first. I tried the default configuration from
http://www.alsa-project.org/alsa-doc/doc-php/asoundrc.php
and used aplay to play a WAV file, but this only causes an error:
aplay: set_params:906: Channels count non available
