Most likely you'll have to compile a new kernel with support for
your particular sound card (or rather, the chipset it uses). Do cat
/dev/sndstat to see the current status.

Install the sox package, which will give you sox and the "play"
wrapper which can play wavs. mpg123 is a popular (non-free) console
mp3 player, or XMMS for a graphical one (GTK-based).

soundcore.o, sound.o (generic support) plus your particular soundcard.
