Well I just play some mp3/rm (with mplayer/realplayer) and see if it
works. However - before that I make sure:

- unmute volume from alsamixer 
- crank up various things in gnome-volume-control
(volume,pcm,out-gain ...)

There might be issues regarding multiple applicatons accessing the
same sound device. I primarily use fluxbox - so there is no kde that
also tries to use the sound device.

I don't know enough about these issues or how to fix them.
