I've been doing more experiments. I made a brand new user and logged in as him. He can get sound from mplayer and youtube, but only when logging into a gnome session.
If I login to a KDE session, I can't get any sound from anything (perhaps because I simply can't find the volume control in KDE and everything is muted?)
Since I new user worked, I tried moving my .config directory in my original user and logging in with a blank .config, but I still get no sound in mplayer.
It is still totally mysterious.
