you effectively have working sound then. I can't recall what is
required to get flash sound working, but check the recent archives as
there've been a couple threads on this. or repost with a proper

that's not a very nice way to talk about Bach!
you get random noise because aplay (to my knowledge) doesn't support

try
aplay /usr/share/sounds/alsa/*
and you should get some good results.
