You don't need to specify anything
with the fixed conf. You probably
even _should_ not. Could you please
just try "aplay /usr/share/sounds/login.wav"
or mpg123 or anything else the most
usual way you do?
Oh, and it would be best to remove
for the moment the custom /etc/asound.conf
if any.

Well, yeah, it would be nice to have
alsa-lib 1.0.16, which one is on Gutsy?
The older ones may not support that
driver even with the good config.

PS: your messages are a bit strange.
When I press "Reply to All" in a
thunderbird mailer, it sets all the
e-mail addresses as "To:". And it
includes my own address. And it includes
your address twice. This is weird. I
am fixing that by hands.
With all other messages, by pressing
"reply to all", it composes the message
with all addresses set to "Cc:", and only
one is set to "To:", with my own address
not included at all
