No sound on etch when using video players
-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-----

I have a problem with etch on AMD64 - no sound on any video player.
I am running a 2.6.15 kernel.
My sound card is recognised; cat /proc/asound/cards shows the following:
0 [CK804 ]: NFORCE - NVidia CK804
NVidia CK804 with ALC850 at 0xd3103000, irq 17
1 [UART ]: MPU-401 UART - MPU-401 UART
MPU-401 UART at 0x330, irq 10
I can play audio CDs using the KDE player kscd but the gnome player and
xmms do not work.
No matter which video player I use - totem, mplayer or kaffeine - I
get no sound.
With mplayer, the following output is seen:
Opening audio decoder: [liba52] AC3 decoding with liba52
Using SSE optimized IMDCT transform
AC3: 2.0 (stereo) 48000 Hz 448.0 kbit/s
Using MMX optimized resampler
AUDIO: 48000 Hz, 2 ch, s16le, 448.0 kbit/29.17% (ratio: 56000->192000)
Selected audio codec: [a52] afm: liba52 (AC3-liba52)
My config file for mplayer has the audio option set to alsa.
I have tried using esd after changing the option but to no avail.
When I run totem or kaffaine from a terminal, there is no output
relating to sound. The sound controls are active in both.
Any help in debugging this would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
Sam
