Frank,
I've been playing around and found something interesting.

After I logon to Gnome, I try
     aplay -l

I get
     aplay: device_list:205: no soundcards found...

Now if I switch to a virtual console (Alt-Ctl-F2) and login.  If I try,
     aplay -l

I get

If I try,
     aplay -Dplughw:0,0 /usr/share/sounds/shutdown.wav

I hear it play.

Anybody have any idea why it doesn't work under Gnome?
