Correct. aplay will not play an mp3; xmms, which you have working, will play it. [snip] > At the moment, I'm not sure what to make of the situation. > > The OSS driver (trident) isn't loaded.

Even etch has kernel 2.6.18-4-686. Might I suggest you're due for an upgrade for security reasons. [snip] So, if I understand you, you only need to get flash sound working. The flashplayer version 9 (current) only supports alsa, so perhaps you're still using an old version 7 (which only supports oss)? Also, do search the archives as sound issues have been discussed frequently since etch was released as stable.
