So, everything looks fine, but there is no output at all when I play mp3

somewhere?

Turn up the volume.  By default, when alsa gets loaded into the kernel
it turns the volume to zero.  This is to prevent accidental damage to
the hardware (your speakers and/or ears).  I forget which package has
it (maybe someone can chime in here), but there is one of the mixer
packages, or a setting in the alsa configuration, that will save your
volume setting on shutdown and resotre it on boot up so that you do not
need to remember that it is initially set to zero by the driver.
